2450 <h4>Usage notes</h4>
2451 <ul><li> Examples:</li>
2452 <ul><li> The French <em><a href="qd::nous">nous</a> <a href="qd::demandons">demandons</a></em> means "<em>we <a href="qd::ask">ask</a></em>", but sounds like "<em>we <a href="qd::demand">demand</a></em>", which can turn negotiation into confrontation.</li>
2453 <li> The Spanish word <em><a href="qd::embarazada">embarazada</a></em> means "<em><a href="qd::pregnant">pregnant</a></em>", not "<em><a href="qd::embarrassed">embarrassed</a></em>" &mdash; "<em>Estoy embarazada</em>" means "<em>I am pregnant</em>", not "<em>I am embarrassed</em>".</li>
2454 <li> The German word <em><a href="qd::will">will</a></em> (<a href="qd::want">want</a>) is not a future tense marker &mdash; "<em>Ich will gehen</em>" means "<em>I want to go</em>", not "<em>I will go</em>".</li>
2455 <ul><li> Same for Dutch and Afrikaans, "<em>Ik wil gaan</em>" and "<em>Ek wil gaan</em>" mean "<em>I want to go</em>".</li>
2457 <li> The Italian word <em><a href="qd::triviale">triviale</a></em> (<a href="qd::vulgar">vulgar</a>) is written almost like <em><a href="qd::trivial">trivial</a></em>, but the two words share only a common Latin root (<em><a href="qd::trivium">trivium</a></em> in Latin means <a href="qd::crossroad">crossroad</a>) and no longer any meaning; "<em>Questo è triviale</em>" means "<em>This is in bad taste</em>", not "<em>This is obvious</em>".</li>
2458 <li> The Danish word <em><a href="qd::gift">gift</a></em> does not mean gift as in present, but can mean a verb form of <a href="qd::married">to marry</a>; <em>Han er gift</em> means <em>He is married</em>. The word for gift is <a href="qd::gave">gave</a>, which is close to the past tense of the verb <a href="qd::giver">giver</a>. If <em>du gav en gave</em>, you gave a gift. Likewise, if <em>du gav en gift</em>, you actually gave <a href="qd::poison">poison</a>.</li>
2463 <ul><li> <a href="qd::partial+false+friend">partial false friend</a></li>
2467 <ul><li> <a href="qd::cognate">cognate</a></li>

2541 A jocular coinage, apparently by pupils at Eton, combining a number of roughly synonymous Latin stems. The word was inspired by a line in the <em>Eton Latin Grammar</em> that listed verbs that govern a genitive noun: "Flocci, nauci, nihili, pili, assis, hujus, teruncii, his verbis, aestimo, pendo, facio, peculiariter adduntur."<ref><em>The Spectator</em>: 11 June 2011</ref> Latin <em>flocci</em>, from <em><a href="qd::floccus">floccus</a></em>, a wisp or piece of wool + <em>nauci</em>, from <em><a href="qd::naucum">naucum</a></em>, a trifle + <em>nihili</em>, from the Latin pronoun, <a href="qd::nihil">nihil</a> ("nothing") + <em>pili</em>, from <em><a href="qd::pilus">pilus</a></em>, a hair, something insignificant (all therefore having the sense of "pettiness" or "nothing") + <a href="qd::-fication">-fication</a>.

3914 <h5>Usage notes</h5>
3915 <ul><li> <a href="qd::May">may</a> is now a <a href="qd::defective+verb">defective verb</a>. It has no infinitive, no past participle, and no future tense. Forms of <a href="qd::to+be+allowed+to">to be allowed to</a> are used to replace these missing tenses.</li>
3916 <li> The simple past (both indicative and subjunctive) of <a href="qd::may">may</a> is <a href="qd::might">might</a></li>
3917 <li> The present tense is negated as <a href="qd::may">may</a> <a href="qd::not">not</a>, which can be contracted to <a href="qd::mayn%27t">mayn't</a>, although this is old-fashioned; the simple past is negated as <a href="qd::might">might</a> <a href="qd::not">not</a>, which can be contracted to <a href="qd::mightn%27t">mightn't</a>.</li>
3918 <li> <a href="qd::May">may</a> has archaic second-person singular present indicative forms <a href="qd::mayest">mayest</a> and <a href="qd::mayst">mayst</a>.</li>
3919 <li> Usage of this word in the sense of <a href="qd::possibly">possibly</a> is considered incorrect by some speakers and writers, as it blurs the meaning of the word in the sense <em>have permission to</em>. These speakers and writers prefer to use the word <a href="qd::might">might</a> instead.</li>
3920 <li> Wishes are often cast in the imperative rather than the subjunctive mood, not using the word <a href="qd::may">may</a>, as in <em>Have a great day!</em> rather than <em>May you have a great day</em>.</li>
3924 <ul><li> {{sense|have permission to}} <a href="qd::can">can</a>, <a href="qd::could">could</a>, <a href="qd::might">might</a></li>

5203 <h5>Usage notes</h5>
5204 <ul><li> Internationally, the "pound" has most commonly referred to the UK pound, £, (pound sterling). The other currencies were usually distinguished in some way, e.g., the "Irish pound" or the "punt".</li>
5205 <li> In the vicinity of each other country calling its currency the pound among English speakers the local currency would be the "pound", with all others distinguished, e.g., the "British pound", the "Egyptian pound" etc.</li>
5206 <li> The general plural of "pound" has usually been "pounds" (at least since Chaucer), but the continuing use of the Old English genitive or neuter "pound" as the plural after numerals (for both currency and weight) is common in some regions. It can be considered correct, or colloquial, depending on region.</li>
