Adverb. The less said the better. (Leasnam.) Equinox ◑ 13:18, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Heh, the House & Garden citation actually says "closely", [1]. That makes more sense. 98.170.164.88 13:26, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Thank you, I know Leasnam will be like "oh he's out to get my scalp", I'm not, I just think that a pattern of words nobody has used since the 1600s if ever is pretty PROBLEMATIQUE. And RFVing them one by one by fucking one "is it in the OED?" is this really more of a waste of our time than all the n-word stuff. The quasi-academic nonsense is still nonsense.

Quit living in 2012! Leasnam added a good bit of Anglish-esque garbage back then (don't get me started about obsolete words in definitions...), but hasn't done that in years. People change. You should, too. Chuck Entz (talk) 13:54, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

I'll get over it when I stop seeing the entries... I'm glad if he is better now but we, every day, still suffer and must pay the consequences for every piece of shit he made. He didn't delete them all when he got better. Equinox ◑ 13:56, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

And you created a gazillion "-id" stubs that Someone had to make into actual entries. Not to mention abominations like "xyz family of plants". I'm sure I have a number of annoying affectations, myself. The point is that this is a community made up of imperfect human beings who each have strengths and weaknesses. If we only allow perfect people to edit here, it's going to get real boring, real fast. It's okay to bring up a pattern of bad edits in order to get someone to change, but you're fixating on things that have already been fixed. Stop it! Chuck Entz (talk) 14:15, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Haha. All right. Point taken. Someone took a shit, let's flush. Sorry Leasnam. Equinox ◑ 14:25, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

@Equinox No worries. I'm just seeing a lot of these comments now and reacting (maybe overreacting) so please give me some grace. Leasnam (talk) 13:58, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
