You know when I thought "undoing all WF's edits is the best way to make him behave" (and it didn't work at all) -- it still annoys me a little bit because I guess you deleted a bunch of French, Spanish, Corsican, Italian or whatever Mafia, as "completed" but the entries are gone. I'm not sure. Half your entries are shitty guesses, like ohhhhh íperemia must be "hyperaemia" even if that ain't -- ok enough time. Hope you had a good day. Try to behave. I writ more anagrams than you have had hot dinners. Equinox 08:42, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

post-card[edit]

Uhhh although this is fun: you realise that pre- (before) and post- (after) are not the usual sense of postcard, a card sent in the post. Right? RIGHT? best wishes, Equinox 07:00, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

The prefix post- in the word "postcard" means "post", not "after". Also, I will find any quotation that says the word where its root word is an irregular plural, and its prefix changes the word type. Most of them can't be found, or some are not available in the English dictionary, and also see the pages Citations: artistics and Citations: glue cannon. 176.88.82.195 07:20, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
"post" in "postcard" is very, very, very definitely not a prefix. That word is a compound. Equinox 07:25, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
I'm not confusing the prefixes with compounds. An example is that a non-prefix is a compound that functions like a prefix but it's not a prefix. Non- means "no, not, or none", and "non" means "that which isn't something" or "anything that isn't something". 176.88.82.195 07:32, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
If you think "post" in "postcard" is a prefix then you need a real spanking. Trousers down. Equinox 07:34, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
And if you think I don't know what "non-" means being a 40-year-old Englishman with an English degree, then you are just rude. xox Equinox 07:35, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
I can't find any quotation with this meaning. So, it does not mean "being a 40-year-old Englishman with an English degree", and I'm not rude. 176.88.82.195 07:43, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
My god, I just realised that this IP either made a huge comma misreading, or is twice as stupid as I thought. It's OK I didn't plan to go back there. Suck my eye ball. Equinox 08:50, 24 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
