Re: [meteorite-list] Invented words

2016-05-11 Thread MexicoDoug via Meteorite-list 
"I propose we start simplifying "regmaglypts" to "remagyps" until it catches 
on."


Ha!  When was this "regmaglypt" misnomer invented, anyway, and by whom?  My 
theory: It was a translation mistake from Krinov's Russian, by the translator 
of his work, happening around 10 years after Sikhote-Alin.  Really doubt this 
word entered the meteorite glossary in any way not accidental.

I prefer eggyglyphs.  Anyone can relate to it, meaning, eggy-groves, making 
eggyglyphs the more scientifically descriptive word :-)  

Regmaglypted means something like "sculpted by fractures".  Definitely should 
be glyph instead of glypt IMO.  I suppose thumbprinted is just as crazy, 
reminds me of a criminal investigation. Thumbdinted would be far more 
scientifically accurate and sounds close enough not to rock the boat, while 
we're ablating our language! 

Best wishes
Doug

Unless we want to continue inventing more words that are related to 
meteoritics?  

I propose we start simplifying "regmaglypts" to "remagyps" until it catches on.

Also I propose that "Widmanstatten" now be shortened to "Widstatten" until it 
appears in a publication.

All those in favor say "yay", not "aye".   ;-)

Greetings,

I've had fun reading this discussion but a good one none the less. When 
I joined this list (shortly after it's creation) we had a discussion on 
fireballs and bolides. With all of the discussion, members couldn't 
agree on those terms of use. I then realized if we couldn't come to 
grips with what I thought a simple term, we were in trouble with the 
really complicated ideas.

Of course everyone knows that a bolide is a fireball that breaks apart ;-)

If you would like? for the sake of keeping the peace and despite the fact us

Re: [meteorite-list] Invented words

2016-05-10 Thread Anne Black via Meteorite-list 
I am with you Rob!   
To me "cool" is still a temperature, somewhere between tepid and cold. Nothing 
else.

Ugh. It joins the ranks of "irregardless". Now that social media is a permanent
fixture,
it probably only takes a handful of modestly well-connected people to bastardize
an
existing word into a needless new synonym... I'm becoming a grumpier old man
with
each passing year, I guess!  --R

Rob, 

You bet "desalinization" would 
become one [a word], but the 
world has beaten you to it:

desalinization. (n.d.). The 
American HeritageR New 
Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, 
Third Edition. Retrieved May 09, 
2016 from Dictionary.com: http://www.dictionary.com/browse/desalinization

It's probably too late to stamp
it out...

My other favorite word that gets used by non-geologists: metamorphosized .
(Do you Brits use that one, by chance?)  I think it fits the rhythym better
in some songs and poems.

Cheers, Pete

It certainly got everyone thinking ;-)


If you would like? for the sake of keeping the peace and despite the fact us
Brits widely use orientated I will use oriented.

Just to let you know in advance I use some really bizarre words and if it's
in the English dictionary (UK version) I will use it!

I won't shun you for your choice of words so please don't shun me :-) we are
all different.

Best wishes from across the pond
