“Infer” vs. “imply” — can “infer” imply “imply”? @ruakh merriam-webster.com/dictionary/literally. Strictly speaking, they list the definition as "virtually", but the following note indicates that they are trying to capture its hyperbolic use, ie figurative use. |

“Infer” vs. “imply” — can “infer” imply “imply”? Merriam-Webster recently updated the meaning of 'literally' to also mean 'figuratively'... so I guess they're comfortable with adopting misusage as usage. |

Should a contraction taken from the center of a word have two apostrophes? Can we at least agree that "trep" is a horrifying and wholly unnecessary contraction and that the author of this article should have their fingers 'oppe' off? |

answered | Why Obama's “spiking the bin Laden football” was replaced with “highlighting with bin Ladin's death”? What's wrong with the former expression? |

Is there a word for a non-geek? The Jargon File is 7 years old and 'Aunt Tillie' is a pretty obscure example. |

What is the word for writing prose under self-imposed restrictions Thank you... the word I couldn't recall was Lipogram, but that link is much broader and much more helpful. |

What are common word sets for describing ranks in a profession? In addition, Project and Program Manager are not necessarily the natural progression for all programmers. |
