Persistent reverts[edit]
Hi. There is an anon. user who insisted to keep their revision on nickelodeon on CBS, despite several attempts by me and other autoconfirmed users undoing their edits. Do you consider protecting the page?197.3.215.25 (talk) 15:16, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
"Dread" vs "dreaded" in the Conrad bio[edit]
Hello. From thefreedictionary.com:
Usage Note: The adjective dread meaning "causing terror or fear" is often supplanted by the participle adjective dreaded. In our 2015 survey, 88 percent of the Usage Panel found the use of dreaded acceptable in the sentence After communicating with the enemy, Corporal Adams was labeled with the dreaded epithet "traitor." By contrast, only 69 percent of the Panel found the use of dread in the same sentence acceptable, while roughly one-third found its use unacceptable. It seems that dreaded is not merely gaining ground as an alternative to dread but actually replacing it as the adjective of choice to mean "causing fear."
Please reconsider your change and restore the term "dreaded." 76.128.41.166 (talk) 21:26, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
