New words for US/CA - 2015-02-25

[marcoagpinto]

Hello Kevin!

Tonight I entered feature freeze for en_GB.

A guy said he was going to send me a list of finance terms but so far nothing... so, I can't wait for his list.

On 2015-03-01 I will update English for Mozilla (GB) and English for OpenOffice (GB+US+CA).

I believe that I mentioned it before: I created a test .OXT with your latest US+CA so that I could test my latest additions to GB before writing here.

Please notice that some of the following words may be GB specific.

Here is the list: Hitlerian Hitlerism Hitlerite Hitlerites Megachiroptera megachiropteran megachiropterans multiyear bancassurance bankassurance bancassurer bancassurers Allianz Allianz's Kieran banausic contrarian contrarians contrarianism quinquagenarian majoritarian majoritarians majoritarianism Gibraltarian Gibraltarians bioprivacy apices apetalous stipule stipules stipular unsubmerged Brookes Brookes's Bodleian Sheldonian sculpturesque freewheeler passible passibility Athanasius Athanasius's discarnate Platonists logicism intuitionism intuitionalism compresence compresent immoralism immoralist Thrasymachus Thrasymachus's absurdism absurdist absurdists Cartesianism defeasibility defeasibly multithread multithreaded multithreading Timberlake lovelock lovelocks lovelily jubbly vestiture vestitures excommunicator excommunicators excommunicatory bilboes pathognomonic multitouch multituberculate multituberculates monotreme monotremes condylarth condylarths condyloma condylomas condylomata condylomatous CVA reverb reverbs handclap handclaps handclapping popish popishly theremin theremins cinnarizine cyclizine promethazine amoxycillin amoxicillin ampicillin erythromycin dishwashing dishier dishiest telefilm telefilms annoyingness balibuntal trampette solanaceous bioacoustics bioaccumulate bioaccumulates bioaccumulating bioaccumulated bioaccumulation sapiens assibilate assibilated assibilation rhotic rhoticity postvocalic digicam digicams digipak unposed mustardy chorography chorographer chorographers chorographic geostrategic geostrategy Africanism Africanist Africanize Africanizes Africanized Africanizing Africanization Africanise Africanises Africanised Africanising Africanisation bezoar bezoars lungworm lungworms furunculosis interdigital versicle versicles responsory responsories gradiometer altazimuth gradualistic dragline draglines bucketwheel bucketwheels deckhouse deckhouses shotted lionfish lionfishes triggerfish triggerfishes baggywrinkle overemployment foozle foozles foozling foozled forewing forewings beeswing haltere halteres imaginal instar instars alisphenoid alisphenoids glenoid fossa glenohumeral hyperextend hyperextends hyperextending hyperextended hyperextension dystonia dystonic embolization embolisation thrombolysis thrombolytic ischaemia ischaemic autolysis autolytic lysosome lysosomes lysosomal angulate angulates angulating angulated angulation angulations cerebriform Pott Pott's calcalkaline laurustinus desex desexes desexing desexed deservingness masjid masjids gurdwara gurdwaras memetic declass declassed cosplay cosplays cosplaying cosplayed cosplayer cosplayers cosplayer's COSPAR orcish Gandalf Gandalf's Frodo Frodo's Tolkienesque oversharer oversharers oversharer's grassquit grassquits bananaquit bananaquits Rastafarians lammergeier lammergeyer Fraktur thunderbird thunderbirds thunderbird's aquarobics divemaster divemasters biscotti codebase codebases codeless undebated firebase unshrunk Winesaps nock nocks nocking nocked keyserver keyservers QA passphrase passphrases PostScript

@biljir care to comment on any of these words. If it will help you can copy and paste the list into http://app.aspell.net:/lookup-freq to rank them all against Google's ngrams corpus.

[biljir]

Oh, so many words!

First of all, I would call the abbreviation QA as important to add.

Other good words without any comments:

multiyear contrarian(s) majoritarian(s) absurdist(s) handclap(etc) Frodo, Gandalf, Tolkienesque Rastafarians Winesaps

Comments on other words:

intuitionism is a specialist's word. It is an important branch of the philosophy of mathematics, and I think it may be used elsewhere in philosophy as well. It is too specialized for me to recommend it. logicism is the same sort of thing, but even less used.

I recommend you add reverb, but reverbs looks to me like a Scrabble-only word.

multithread, etc., are way to computer-geeky for me, but knowing your audience, you'll add 'em.

I am currently taking amoxicillin. It is a common, very powerful antibiotic. I have no idea which of the y spelling or the i spelling is more common, but my prescription used an i. I think I would add this word if I were you.

rhotic is a linguistic word. I know it because of my interest in the English language. It's a specialist word, but perhaps of more interest than intuitionism.

digicam is listed in ESL dictionaries. This makes me believe it should definitely be added.

My intuition tells me that cosplay etc. has escaped into the world outside, i.e., is showing up in news stories and the like. Accordingly, it is a good candidate for inclusion.

I don't think that the word passphrase is very common yet, though I could be wrong. Additionally it is often written as two words. However, I imagine you'll be putting it in. :)

I realized out of the blue that I had breezed right past "theremin", which is an early 20th-century electronic musical instrument, and still sometimes used by composers wanting an unearthly sound. Not all THAT common, but I'd say that if you presently list "dobro", then you probably should list "theremin" as well. Not that the two have much to do with one another, except for both being musical instruments, but I'd guess they're of equal obscurity.

[kevina]

Thank you both, see my commit for what I added.

@biljir "dobro" is included but the plural is not. In addition "dobros" is to close to "debris" so I think I will leave it out. "theremin" is not in there so I will add, but I think I will leave the plural out
