  • Which is more proper rarest or most rare?
    The chart suggests that rarest (red line) and rarer (yellow line) have been more popular (not popularer) forms than most rare (blue line) and more rare (green line) for at least 150 years Nevertheless, given their consistent occurrence in published works over so many years, I wouldn't argue that any of the four forms is wrong
  • Can something that is one-of-a-kind be rare?
    First is that it is reasonable to consider that "unique" is just an extreme form of 'rare' But being an extreme form of rare does not stop it being rare If there were only three of something it would be rare, or if there were two - therefore it does not make sense to everybody that something even rarer - there is only one - stops being called
  • Expression for a rare find? - English Language Usage Stack Exchange

  • What is the difference between scarce and rare?
    Stack Exchange Network Stack Exchange network consists of 183 Q A communities including Stack Overflow, the largest, most trusted online community for developers to learn, share their knowledge, and build their careers
  • Why is a woman a widow and a man a widower?
    My guess for the term starting with women is the economical independence that men have been granted throughout history The strength of polygyny over the rarer polyandry also implies that the death of a wife wouldn't have altered a man's married state due to his having more than one The need for a male counterpart just wasn't as great
  • adjectives - Word between rare and common - English Language Usage . . .
    First of all, common is something everyday or ordinary However, if you want a word that's between rare and common on a frequency scale, I suggest occasional:
  • Which is less ordinary? Super- or Extra- ordinary? [closed]
    Nevertheless, as established single words, superordinary does not mean "even rarer" than extraordinary Instead, try unparalleled : having no parallel; especially : having no equal or match : unique in kind or quality
  • Single word for less mass per unit volume (the complement of dense)
    The opposite of dense is rare, i e wood is rarer than metal, metal is denser than wood marked by wide separation of component particles : thin (MW) I believe you could also use subtile, usually used as not dense, rarefied or thin
  • Thermal vs Thermic - English Language Usage Stack Exchange
    "Thermic" is much rarer, only used in technical contexts (physics, physiology, etc), and even then it is often old-fashioned and replaced by newer terms Merriam-Webster notes that both can refer to heat or temperature, but "thermal" also has other specific meanings as in "thermal baths" (=baths with hot springs), "thermal underwear
  • Is in case of need idiomatic British English?
    The results strongly suggest that the 'in case of [eventuality, usually undesirable]' prepositional phrase is nowadays rare, and arguably getting rarer (so dated) 'In case of need' is certainly highly formal, and 'if needed required' or 'if the need arises' would be used nowadays even in government departments
