Cf. Korean naming tradition, which is highly formalized (to the extent that almost everybody's given name is precisely 2 syllables), siblings often share a syllable, either the first or the second. E.g. sister 지현(Ji Hyun) and brother 지원(Ji Won), or two sisters named 민주(Min Ju) and 영주(Yŏng Ju).
In the context of classroom pidgin, my wee students routinely used "versus" as a verb. Is the takeaway that the youf just love verbs more than other people?
I don't know what it's meant to mean but if it means what it means to me then I feel about it the way Bill Burroughs felt about going to space eventually
you have to go to the page of a word any word, then scroll down to the right-hand column "Add ____ to your lists"; at the bottom is the "new list" option.
"meaningful, plausible, useful, novel, even aesthetic", just not to that guy on the internet, is still conceivably meaningful, plausible, useful, novel, even aesthetic, n'est-ce pas? Any further novelty umbrage is gonna turn into a fairy tale and its name is Tricycle Magnum Superhighway, the Salty Cracker.
vestigiality of these categories in English notwithstanding, 'latina' and 'latino' are specifically gendered borrowings. a list of gendered borrowings into English, indeed, would have quite a bit of fodder. its grammar import function is pretty good aye
I don't especially see how suffix modification undoes euro-colonial legacy while the whole whopping "Latin" remains in there, but I may just be a pedantrix here.
it may be an irresoluble regional frequency dispute; I've in my (granted, short) life never heard your sampled usage, for instance. note to self: bone up on sports jargon
but there's precedent! e.g. 'whitewashed', as in a POC who's held to have excessively assimilated to whiteness (in my context people apply such terms to themselves), is a fairly established contemporary usage, older than the current debate about ScarJo doing martial arts etc
