	con't	1 Relevance	17 years ago	Friend of Design	General discussion
	... if they didn?t have to foot the bill for photography that Modernica and others (we won?t say Accurato again) ?borrow??. Humm? And yes ? the more people buy knock-offs the less money companies like Herman Miller have to put into releasing additional authentic designs or defend their design rights in court. Would seem to be the same for drug companies - they need to sell at a very high price while they have the rights to the products they spent years developing, testing and defending - guess that is the way - get as much as you can now because it won't last. ...

	I am NOT interested in... I am NOT interested in dictionary definitions, they are boring... Boring or not, definitions are not abstractions was my point, and a fair one I think. Perception, sure. Call me a purist. Shame about your paddle; this has been one of the more interesting threads on this forum. It's a good thoughtful bunch all who've chimed in. Stay sharp.

	robert1960... When I say mannerist, I mean accepting the manner of previous designs without redesigning them to achieve greater function and beauty for the client. I think the Merriam Webster Online dictionary's definitions are fitting here. 1 a: exaggerated or affected adherence to a particular style or manner : artificiality , preciosity boften capitalized : an art style in late 16th century Europe characterized by spatial incongruity and excessive elongation of the human figures 2: a characteristic and often unconscious mode or peculiarity of action, be ...
	When I	1 Relevance	18 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	When I was new to the forum I had the temerity to suggest a correction to a minor spelling flaw, in a post by Koen. (I believe I spelled his name 'keon,' as well, in the days before we could edit our posts.) Only after that did it occur to me that English might have been a second language to some on the board -- and that in Koen's case at least any amount of mangled English would be a small price for the wisdom and useful insight gained by his writing. (And, he had the decency to accept my rebuke with good grace, and even promised to exhibit greater dili ...
	Picture?	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Riki	General discussion
	Picture? If you posted a picture of your table I might be able to tell you what it is. Long, skinny and lower than dining height could be called alot of things, some of which have already been discussed. How old is it? What wood? What do the legs/stretchers look like? Does it have drawers or doors? It could be a sideboard, a huntboard, a credenza, a chest on stand, a drinks cupboard, you get the picture. Most antiques dealers are old school and if we need to look something up, we use our reference books. Judith Miller's antiques guides have great pict ...
	Accurate (correct, original)	1 Relevance	18 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	... attempt to mimic the pronunciation of a native speaker's home country or state, etc. "Giving up," particularly in the absence of knowledge about the correct (original) pronunciation, as when we read a name but have never heard it spoken aloud, is perfectly understandable -- but hardly admirable, in my opinion. Sure, we English speakers call places by the English names they've been given (Italy, not Italia) and there's room for that in the scheme of things, surely. The same happens everywhere. Personally, I like the music of exotic language on my tongue, bu ...

	I have used the words re-ima... I have used the words re-imagine and subjective a few times now. I am NOT interested in dictionary definitions, they are boring. Conventional luxury is often unethical and absurd as we agree. So it needs to be re-defined. What is luxury today may be seen in years to come as obscene, ivory, tiger skins anyone? Sorry finch, semantics it is and my ping pong bat is on the floor.

	I apologize...talk about petty Sorry, I replied, sorry I misspelt chandelier....sue me! (I don't have a dictionary handy and this forum doesn't have a spell check feature...) There's been alot of chat over the months about people getting their terminology straight, and I was pointing out that it's not a pendant. I did not say how unattactive I think it is, did I? So, it would have been more appropriate for you to thank anyone who provided you with any information. Finally, if you're not prepared to deal with all possible replies, and if you are somewhat tou ...
	OK	1 Relevance	19 years ago	norm	General discussion
	OK Allright, I'll comment. 48" is a litle rare but I have seen them many times. The poles can be cut to any size to fit whatever envirenment they are in. 79" 77" 56"...what size would you like? I will say that I believe that your system would look a little better if you moved the swing light to one of the outer poles instead of in the middle and also that it may be hard to read/use the dictionary with the shelf that is intended to hold it being that high up. Other than that?...Nice.

	80% of my house is... 80% of my house is furnished that way... A nice way to find out, 'I get such a kick from seeing that chair when ever i come in here. It reminds me of stuff my parents had when i was a kid, but they threw it all out.' In my case it is a true statement. Most often it is about to go to the garbage. If the owner has a personal attachment, they will say so. I've even mentioned that they could get 50-75 each if they were cleaned up a bit. But usually they don't want to fool with it. Every visit to my in-laws i see blank spots where some nice danish pieces were the year before... My parents are also on a tossing-out binge. My fathers college leather-bound dictionary that i have always coveted, is gone! 'that old thing?' (replaced on the shelf by a stack of Martha Stewart Living! she can't cook and isn't crafty) ?! ...It is best to speak up

	gustavo, this is wonderful stuff and... I look forward to your manifesto (both verb and noun). Manifesto dates to the mid 1700s as an intransitive verb in English meaning: to issue a manifesto. Let's manifesto? 🙂 Before that, manifesto dates to 1620 as a noun, according to one dictionary I looked at and means: "a written statement declaring publicly the intentions, motives, or views of its issuer." Before that we have manifest, dating to the 1500s and meaning: a list of passengers or an invoice of cargo for a vehicle (as a ship or plane). Before that we have ...
	Lexicon	1 Relevance	19 years ago	SDR	General discussion
	Lexicon used to mean 1) a dictionary; 2) a special [i.e., trade or professional] vocabulary; or 3) the total stock of morphemes [smallest indivisible meaningful word or word portion] in any language. Times change. Happy anniversary !

After having started over again untill the whole thing was two pages I thought I had done a fine job. The teacher was stubborn and disagreed...
