RE: CS>Re:Preventative
I have given it some thought. Perhaps anyone who presumes to be "correct, right, exact, etc. is wantonly foolish for trying to beat the creators' (sic) playfulness. The original definition of a carpenters square is a "normal" (noun). I guess when they got it right, the angle was 90, or a "right" angle. Back to the 50's hipsters jargon: a "square" a dip who cannot function outside "the box". Hence, one of my nom de plumes, Norman D. Plume.

Strangely, a more primary definition of "nice" in some dictionaries " is "wantonly foolish".

Re: CS>Re:Preventative
Dear Judith, Marshalee is correct. I used to be a 'Planned Preventative Maintenance' person before she mended my ways. :) See "Fowler's Modern English Usage" prevent(at)ive. The short form is better; see LONG VARIANTS where he says 'The better the writer the shorter the words'... broadly true Those who run to long words are mainly the unskilful and tasteless; they confuse pomposity with dignity, flaccidity with ease, and bulk with force.

RE: CS>Re:Preventative
Well Marsha, you made me look it up. According to Webster's New Twentieth Century Dictionary, unabridged 2nd edition, 1974, you are "nice". [Synonym for exact, correct, right, normal, precise and some others I can't remember]. It says for "preventative "...same as 'preventive'.

Re: CS>Re:Preventative
Hi all, In school they say to read the whole question before answering. Be sure you know what it is that you are answering. :-) Another cognitive comprehension problem. Like "preventatative" isn't in the book. Yep, preventative comes before preventive, obviously ta comes before ti. :-) Bless you, Bob Lee Judith Thamm wrote: Tisk Marshalee, Tisk Tisk! > (By the way, for the Newbies out there, who missed my rant of several months > ago, the word is "preventive", not "preventatative", > ie.what CS is so good at doing!) > OK, I`ll shut up for now!!! :o) > Love, > Marshalee My 3 nearest dictionaries [each is a standard doorstop weight ;) ] say : DK Illustrated Oxford Dictionary lists preventative before preventive Reader's Digest Complete Word Finder: lists preventative before preventive The Macquarie Dictionary: [standard Australian reference] preventive [& gives definitions] then says: Also preventative.
