I don't know about the other edit, but this edit is incorrect for grammatical reasons: prostituo is a first-person form, not a third-person form. The first-person form is the lemma form of Latin verbs, and is conventionally defined accordingly as "I...". - -sche (discuss) 21:12, 10 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

I'm not allowed to post at the tea room (it's disallowing me with reason "possible vandalism"). So here's your reply.

The translation, which has some verb in it, appears completely deplorable but even laughable, therefore I am arguing that ancient latins could've never ever thought of prostitution as a means to set anything up erect. Feel me?

To prostitute was simply to sell one's self by standing up in the streets. Whether technically perfect or not, my translation, the meaning is what matters. I am not a linguist thus have no familiarity with transitive and intransitive verbs, sorry. Brexit Things (talk) 01:32, 11 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

"It's understandable you get it wrong because Latin and English have almost nothing in common."

"I am much more familiar with romance languages by the way, than with English."

Well, in case you were unaware, English is a Germanic language. It has borrowed a significant number of words from Latin, and received some indirectly via Old French, but it is nevertheless an Insular West Germanic language. This is somewhat similar to the situation with a language such as Maltese: Maltese is a Semitic language with a significant amount of Italian influence, and for various political reasons has in the past been attempted to be classified as something other than what it actually is.

What difference does it make to my point in case being that the etymology is completely wrong and that a correction is due?

I see so much bad faith around this (why did money make me even move to England, I wonder). I was just banned too, for 1 month, from editing entries.

I think people is blind when it comes to sexual matters, that's what, and tend to believe sex equals freedom.. which is ill. It's like Wiktionary is switched with Mythology. Brexit Things (talk) 22:47, 10 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Wiktionary works by civilised discussion and consensus. Not edit warring.

You are only blocked for a month. Just chill out. If you still want to contribute to the project, try and actually work with other editors when you get back. This is a collaborative project.

I am not sure what you are talking about in the last bit of what you said. What do people's beliefs on those subjects have to do with the collaborative project of compiling an effective and functional dictionary of all words in all languages? Tharthan (talk) 23:20, 10 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

You are joking now. I don't joke here. Or with people's rights.. and for such a long time, since 2013. An eight years consensus. Reeeeally?

There's women who'd really deserve their rights back, but it turns out it was other women who took them away, playing the #MeToo nonsensical legal prostitution and fair wage game on the world wide web.

Fool situation, I'm out. Brexit Things (talk) 00:50, 11 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

I suppose this entry could have, even while not supported by sources, the following etymological addition: it may be also a blend of Britain (english word) + exi (latin word meaning something like you depart; you get away;). This is very unsupported obviously, but considering Latin is a difficult language (see my last week contributions maybe, to understand this) it seems reasonable to suggest such is a possible etymological blend.

Also, it can be noted some form of "political" bad faith in recognising an etymological analogy with Grexit. Seems purely rough. I admit I am personally interested in denouncing the English-speaking world's bad faith I've come in contact with since moving to England from the EU. With this, yes, I may have an obsession but..

About the sysop intervening at the tea room reverting me and even changing the block reason to something slightly personal:

Trolling. No interest in editing the dictionary, nor in any words other than the one with which they have an obsession.

..I can only say, that seems rough the same as the above. Brexit Things (talk) 05:07, 16 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Since a sysop intervened, I am going to disclose my miserable editing history as of recent.

I edited using various accounts in the last months (for a total of less than 100 anyway), reason being that each time some administrator blocked the account. I don't like multiaccounting then, it's just in response to the administrative blocks. You can access all my edits just clicking on each number under the 'Edit count' column if you prefer.

(March) accounts: HomemMédio, Buscalotumismo

(May) accounts: Football World Champions actually this one was used by a close friend too, but I won't tell his username for obvious reasons

(June) accounts: Splitending, 2A02 C7F 982E 7900 A66F 4951 6816, 2a02 c7f 982e 7900 a5cd 466f 4951 6816

(July) accounts: KillerMachina, Brexit Things

I care to say that I neither did all this multiaccounting for pleasure. Brexit Things (talk) 07:09, 16 July 2021 (UTC
