    forum.wordreference.com/threads/process-or-processs.1704502

    Which is correct? Process's or process' ( to show a possessive form) Thanks in advance! bj. The traditional way to form the possessive form of process would be process's, and that is the method I prefer to use. However, some recent style guides, including the US Government Printing Office Style Manual, call for singular nouns ending in s to be ...

  3. Poppens - WordReference Forums

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/poppens.654017

    Northern California. AE, Español. Sep 23, 2007. #3. This link suggests that "Poppens" is the name of the girl in the song. I looked at the lyrics of the song, and did not quite seem right. This link and a few other commentaries I read support my original suspicion, that "poppen" is a variant of "poppet," which can be understood as meaning "doll."

  5. Dramaticity - WordReference Forums

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/dramaticity.1796484

    English (UK then US) May 7, 2010. #5. Sounds to me like someone (or a few people) making up a word trying to get a noun from the adjective dramatic. Dramaticness didn't sound right with an -ic adjective so dramaticity it was. The reason it's not in any dictionaries, I suspect, is because the perfectly good word drama is already fulfilling the need.

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/make-do-analysis.2195248

    Jul 9, 2011. #2. I think both can be used. However, I 've mostly met the following cases: "I do an analysis" when "analysis" is the object (active voice) and. "an analysis is made" when "analysis" is the subject (passive voice). But I'm not the expert here. Let's see what other members have to say!

  8. What is the meaning of the idiom tone and tenor?

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/what-is-the-meaning-of-the-idiom-tone-and...

    English - the King's. Dec 9, 2015. #2. Hi goldencypress, "tone and tenor" is not really an idiom or set phrase. It's just two distinct features. The tenor is what you say, and the tone is how you say it. Your sentence is fine, though some may prefer "... tone or tenor ...". However there's nothing wrong with "and".

    LatAm Spanish. Aug 6, 2016. #1. Buenos días, Qusiera saber cómo traducir: "Mi hijo ya empezó a mudar los dientes". Es un niño de 5 años, quien ya está botando los dientes de leche y le están saliendo los dientes de adulto.

  11. I am not offay with it. (au fait) | WordReference Forums

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/i-am-not-offay-with-it-au-fait.1866619

    Pig Latin for "foe" - opposite of "friend." Used to be popular with political types who were down with their "African Roots." au fait is completely unrelated. It is not an alternative spelling of 'ofay' The meaning of au fait has already been described. It is a French phrase and the convention in English is to render foreign phrases in italics.
