He proved anything but prophetic[edit]

Among the words that he labeled nonwords are three that might still be considered so: ✳enthused, ✳experimentalize, ✳preventative. But with most of the others he mentioned, he proved anything but prophetic—they’re now standard.

Is this idiom being used here? --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:40, 11 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
