Talk:Timonizing

Request for verification
Rfv-sense, the noun. The quotation seems to support the verb Timonize, not the noun. Mglovesfun (talk) 20:40, 27 January 2010 (UTC)


 * (Disclosure: I created all these Timon* pages.) It's a fairly rare term; I'd like to compare it to the similar adjective galvanizing, as in "the galvanizing process", which is also understood as a noun, as seen in:
 * "The galvanizing of components of more than 19 m in length has now become possible."
 * "The galvanizing of Catholic forces during the Kulturkampf of the 1870s"
 * And 152,000+ hits just for "the galvanizing of" at Google
 * As I understand it, the present participle of a verb describing a process also generates a noun for that process: to Timonize --> the Timonizing. Maybe you're right that my quotation could belong more to the Verb section than the Noun section; but I don't see the problem with the Noun section.
 * (P.S.: galvanizing doesn't reference the noun version: I prefer not to complete it since the topic seems to be contested...) 62.147.62.205 16:51, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
