Thanks for pointing out the similar question. Great, but note that I'm trying to find ...  • is there any SPECIFIC examples/evidence around of yword yusage TODAY?  • other than jokey usage, is there any fresh and real usage?  • nobody has explained, simply what period was it popular? (if at all - or was it just an artifact or something?)  • and indeed, what ywere the Top Three Yword greatest hits?  Cheers!    I made an ybounden the other day,    and it brought to mind the questions:  These days, are there any words which use the y- prefix?  What is the origin of this prefix?  In what period was it popular?   What were, at that time, other popular words with the y- prefix?  Is it perhaps today still popular in other (European?) languages - which?  Is the whole thing just a typo/artifact? What's the deal?  But mostly ........ are there any ywords popular today?

It seems "TV" is always preferred when used as an abbreviation for "television" in informal writing, but is "tv" ever acceptable? (The capitalization seems to me to place undue emphasis on it.)

I found the question  Regarding the number of answers votes and also according to my personal taste I like to capitalize titles. But what exactly are titles? Only the single main book title? What about other smaller semantic parts? Chapter headings, sub-chapter, ...

I've seen the expression in some company names; for example , .  Is the expression "All things X" a parody of some other popular phrase, or does it have its own meaning? Or is it just a misuse of grammar?

So the anime I'm looking for is about a red haired boy suddenly being transported in another world in his modern world while going to his school with his blue haired friend (he was transported alone). Upon shocked at the fact he was in another place he tried desperately looking for his friend and trying to figure out why he is there while doing so he finds a man and a woman with a big filled bag go in an airship and leave (Maybe I got that wrong) he sees a red gem on the ground and picks it up. After a few more episodes he finds out he is the chosen one in the world who can save the world from chaos. The world had animals or creatures that is kind of similar to pokemon but with gems to power them up and without them beeing in a space in which we don't know what it's like when not in need for battle or any kind the animals connected with the gems turn into a small size enough to just have them sit on your shoulder or on your palm. What the red haired boy picked up was a beast inside that was very strong the red haired boy's animal partner was also red. The animals looks like plastic toys that came to life.  The blue haired friend who was with the red haired was shown in the series that he was also in the universe but was controlled by the evil person who wanted to get every gem stone and use it to make his animal more stronger than everyone else and wanting to destroy the world if I can remember the red haired met friends and traveled a lot of places in search of gemstones that can power up their partner animals the male and female with the ones with the filled bags who were the minions for that evil person would get in the way of red haired boy just like team rocket in pokemon but after the evil person said he had no use of them they were shocked and unable to process what to do after a while they sided with red haired boy and his friends but I think those two had ulterior motives?  I remember that the animals looked like dragons and dinosaurs but look like plastic toys and it's not Magi Nation please  I was looking for this in a website in which I used to watch it from and now I have found it apparently it's called Zinba the boy has brown hair not brown his animal partner is not a dragon but a lion I'm sorry......I'm wrong in so many things because I haven't watched it in a long time

For example, "word" is a word, "adjectival" is adjectival, etc. Is there a term for this? Something like a set that includes itself, but not quite. I want to call it "autoinclusive"; would that work linguistically?

I read something in the manga:     When this battle will finally be over... take me out to eat some tasty yakiniku.   "when...will be" seems strange to me, isn't it better saying "When this battle is finally over"? Since this is translated from Japanese, I am not sure whether its grammar is correct or not.

I've recently come across a novel called , after which being curious I found a TV episode called .  Could someone shed some light on how to use "a most" and whether it has anything to do with "the most"?

I'm really lost for words...  For example, I like people with short hair. But then someone could say, so you hate people with long hair? But, of course, I did not give any information on people with long hair. I could've liked/hate it. What is this called? I'm sure there was a name to this, maybe an expression?

There seem to be a ridiculous number of Gundam series, spinoffs and movies. There also seems to be a lot of timelines, parallel universes which has confused me more.  I've tried looking this up before, but there's a large variety of differing answers depending on people's opinions.   As an anime fan, I think I should at least try it out. It might also help for understanding a lot of reference jokes in other series.  Where does one start with all these? Can you watch the series as standalones or should I start watching in a particular order?

I hear about "" all the time, but don't know what it is.     What is it's purpose?  Why do I need it? What problems does it solve? What problems does it create?

What exactly is a hat?  I have seen a lot of people arguing the significance of hats and the limited edition hats. I know the hats are sort of linked to the Winterbash stuff, but what exactly is a hat, what does it do, how do I get one?  Is there a full list of hats?

Between Muyo, Universe, GXP, and Ryo-ohki, I'm thoroughly confused. Sometimes Tenchi series seem to be related (Ryo-ohki and Universe) and sometimes not (GXP). What are all the Tenchi series, are they related, and if they are, how?

Sometimes they change the title into something different, and by different I mean it's not an English translation. An example here is . Although it state that:     Rurouni Kenshin is subtitled "Wandering Samurai" in some English releases.   which makes it the closest translation, as a rough translation of the title would be "Kenshin the Wandering Swordsman". But they also use the name Samurai X for this anime title.     The English-language versions of the OVAs, as well as the film, were originally released as Samurai X in North America, although the original name was included on the later DVD and Blu-ray Disc releases.   But it's not only in North America, as they also mentioned     Sony Pictures Television International created an English-language version of the series, titled Samurai X, that airs outside of the United States   I don't know if there's another anime that also does this, but I've never seen something like this recently.

I was trying to write “I was using the lecture's flow of logic”, as to say that I was following the logic that was in the lecture. But I am corrected by a spell-checker.   I tried to google it, but this leads me to another much more silly question. How do you call that “..'s” that designates ownership / association? I really did try to google it, but since “'s” is such a bad search term, and any formation for "What do you call that 's you add to designate ownership" I could think of, yielded anything but the answer I was looking for.   So my question is twofold.    What is the name of that 's thing? I guess it is not the "ownership 's" :) Is it perhaps called officially the ‘possessive s’? Is saying "lecture's" (pertaining to the lecture) valid English grammar? Or is it valid grammar but people just don't say it this way?

I've sometimes seen this construct, used to avoid repetitive handwriting, but I don't even know if it's proper English.  If it is, what is the name of this construct? I have no idea what to search for when looking it up...        Don't forget to buy eggs.   &emsp;"&emsp;&emsp;      "&emsp;&emsp;"&emsp;"&emsp;yogurt.   &emsp;"&emsp;&emsp;      "&emsp;&emsp;"&emsp;"&emsp;milk.
