Author Topic: ($$$) We've all dreaded this day. Now it's here. ($$$) Fabrux Epic Member Member # 71 posted                       Its not really a word, its an onomatopaedic representation of a sound. Shutter is a part of a window, shudder is an action. -------------------- I haul cardboard and cardboard accessories Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged Gvsualan Perpetual Member Member # 968 posted                       Its "onomatopoetic". And white we are at it smart guy, seeing we are all such an elite class here, destine to continuously disprove one another, you may want to refer to Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary 10th ed. to which, my friend, does include said words "yech/yecch" and "yuck". Apparently they became dictionary bound in the late 1960s thanks to them damn dirty hippies.

Do you say "encyclopaetic" often? -------------------- I haul cardboard and cardboard accessories Registered: Mar 1999  |  IP: Logged TSN I'm... from Earth. Member # 31 posted                       First off, it's spelled "onomatopoeia". And, since it isn't "onomatopoedia", any comparison to "encyclopedia" is nonsensical. The adjectival form is "onomatopoeic", or, alternatively, "onomatopoetic".

I'm worried about his saying this episode will help continuity. I suspect this episode will give the Borg their name. -------------------- When you're in the Sol system, come visit the Starfleet Museum Registered: Oct 1999  |  IP: Logged MinutiaeMan Living the Geeky Dream Member # 444 posted                       Any bets on whether we'll hear their age-old "We are the Borg" greeting? -------------------- “Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.” — Isaac Asimov Star Trek Minutiae | Memory Alpha Registered: Nov 2000  |  IP: Logged
