Difference between revisions of "Category:Usage label"

Revision as of 20:28, 10 February 2010

Occasionally a usage label has been added in addition to theword form categories:

• terms considered obsolete or deprecated have been marked asdeprecated term. Deprecated terms may still be in current use.
• archaic indicates a word is unambiguously obsolete and has not been in current use for several decades. To simplify searching, archaic words should be marked both with archaic and deprecated.
• colloquial indicates words used in colloquial language, but which should be avoided in scientific language.
• other potential usage labels are offensive or taboo – unlikely to be used here ...

By clicking on any of the links above, you will see a list of all pages containing a link to a given category. With few exceptions (e. g. the links from this page), these links indicate that a glossary entry belongs to that category.

Note: Some other header information (synonym, opposite, variant spelling) was considered not helpful to treat as a category.
