Replacement for “brethren” to refer to mostly female group As a practical matter I would be concerned that "sistern" could be confused with "cistern". (Edit: Oh, I see tchrist already pointed this out) |

What do you call someone who likes controversial things? I wish the answer was "a controvert" (like an introvert or an extrovert). But it's not. |

What is the difference between “special” and “especial”? Note that the reverse is true for specially vs. especially. |

Is it acceptable to call a hot dog a sausage? It seems odd to me to call a fried or grilled sausage "raw". That's not raw, that's cooked. |

When to use “expectative” instead of “expectation”? @Keyne: No, they are not the same. In "the team's expectative victory", the team's victory is the object. In "the team's expectation for victory", the team's expectation is the object. |

What comes in between predecessor and successor? I would caution against the use of locus, which has a different meaning in mathematics (related in that both refer to position, but in mathematics a locus is a set of points which have some particular property, not a single point in a sequence) |

What does “no-op” mean? No-op is common enough in technical documentation. It's not quirky or geeky, it's just jargon. |

How has the usage of 'should' varied over time? I don't think this is a duplicate, but I also don't think I'll get a better answer than that linked above. Someone can close as a dup if they wish. |

What's the word for when two people like each other but each doesn't know whether the other likes back? @mgb: unrequited love is love that is not returned at all. That is different to love that is returned but not explicitly acknowledged. |
