Talk:＃IStandWith

RFD discussion: December 2022–January 2023
Although this is Oxford's "word of the year", it's not much of a "word", is it? Merely a trending topic in the news. We would not generally include Twitter hashtags as entries. (There are zillions of them, by the way: #notallmen, #notinmyname, #blackgirlmagic, etc. etc.) Equinox ◑ 09:45, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: I agree. It’s not used in any idiomatic sense, and so is SoP. — Sgconlaw (talk) 13:00, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

 * Small comment, but this word actually came in third; the word that won was . AG202 (talk) 00:17, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete, this is clearly just three separate words mashed together by the fact that hashtags can't have spaces. Ioaxxere (talk) 19:30, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Also just added stand with, which has surprisingly stayed uncreated up till now. Ioaxxere (talk) 20:23, 11 December 2022 (UTC)


 * But you made it cheaply and lazily, calling things "obsolete" that may not be. I guess it's a start? Equinox ◑ 13:33, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I copied the labels from the OED. Unless someone finds a recent quotation for these senses I think "obsolete" is a fair description. Ioaxxere (talk) 20:52, 17 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Not surprisingly--do you have any reasons for considering an actual phrasal verb? Or is it just a verb with a preposition? Andrew Sheedy (talk) 02:23, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * It depends on which terminology you are using for "phrasal verb": some consider "prepositional verbs" to be a subset of phrasal verbs, whereas others don't. In any case, stand with falls into the same grammatical category as run into and look after. The preposition combines with the verb to create a new, distinct meaning.

 * Delete. More generally, I think we should treat interior capitals the same as spaces or hyphens.  Vox Sciurorum (talk) 10:38, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
