Talk:somewhat

pronoun
The phrasing somewhat of a has traditionally been considered poor because it treats somewhat —principally an adverb— as a pronoun: ''{1. something of} a {2. somewhat} lackluster performance.'' --Backinstadiums (talk) 17:04, 23 December 2019 (UTC)

Meaning "something of the kind":


 * 1861, Elizabeth Gaskell, The Grey Woman
 * I am sure my husband was their superior, or captain, or somewhat.
