Talk:going-to
The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
As some of you know, I periodically search through the requests for definition, trying to reduce the list. There is one on going-to for an uncountable sense - but there are not cites, and I can't find any, which makes it hard to come up with any definition. Can anyone help here? I suspect that the desire was for going-to future, but every example I can find of that meaning lacks the hyphen. Kiwima (talk) 19:17, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- @DCDuring: you created this article, with this undefined sense, two and a half years ago. Do you remember what uncountable sense you were thinking of? —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 19:31, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Amazing how such a thing seems to have been done by someone else into whose intentions I have no insight. "Promised future action or achievement." would make sense as a definition, but I couldn't find any support at Google Books in fiction, which might have had some dialog containing such uncountable usage. Let's just give its 30 days. Maybe someone will come up with something. DCDuring TALK 19:55, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
