Talk:nevermind

Misspelling?
I don't believe this crap. How is it a misspelling?

It's no more misspelling than goddamn is of god damn or than cellphone is of cell phone.

In order to misspell you MUST have the word itself misspelled, misspelling and mistake on if it's one word or two is NOT the same thing.

Can someone please change this? I don't know what to call this, that's why I'm bringing this up. 82.148.70.2 11:34, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

 * So you keep reverting me, and not even interested in discussion. You call this a good dictionary, I call it a bad one if all you're interested in is reverting me and not discuss. 194.144.87.74 16:34, 29 November 2007 (UTC)


 * "cellphone" is a compound, as adjective(form of noun) and noun. "goddamn" is a compound, as noun and verb. "nevermind" is simply incorrect; an illiterate run-on that is not a word. Go look it up in the OED or something. This is basic stuff, and as a dictionary, we need to, and do, have the correct information in the entry. Robert Ullmann 16:46, 29 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Wiktionary works a little differently from Wikipedia. Discussion are usually on forums, not on individual entry pages, because of the much lower ratio of active users and administrators to entries. For this purpose, after logging in to (creating?) your Wiktionary account, you would insert the template, follow the link, hit the "+" tab, put "nevermind" in the title field and your comment in the body, signing your entry with "~" . One thing that does carry over from Wikipedia is the idea of "Assuming Good Faith". DCDuring 16:48, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Ullman, in my part of the world, it's always written as one word. Besides, lemme see you justify "everyday." Wōdenhelm 16:17, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

rfv-sense: "consequence".

If "nevermind" means "consequence" I'd expect to find a decent number of google hits for "a lot of neverminds" or "many neverminds". Polarpanda 12:07, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * There are loads of hits for in this sense. &#x200b;— msh210 ℠ 16:40, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * "Consequence" is not substitutable for "nevermind" in the principal kind of usage that I can think of: "It wouldn't/couldn't/won't/didn't/doesn't/don't make no/any nevermind to X.". "Difference" would be substitutable, but seems to me misleading as a defining word. Does "nevermind" mean consequence/difference in any other construction? If not, perhaps the construction/snowclone needs to be an entry. WNW has the other two senses and not "consequence". DCDuring TALK 17:31, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Not sure what the best wording of the definition is, but the sense exists. I've added a citation (to the entry itself, not the cites page) without make. &#x200b;— msh210 ℠ 17:51, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I think we lack the appropriate sense of difference:, a sense in many contemporary dictionaries, but not in Websters 1913. DCDuring TALK 19:18, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for adding that, and adding "difference" to the definition of nevermind under discussion here. I'm going to call this cited. &#x200b;— msh210 ℠ 18:10, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
