@scottalanmiller Correct usage in a sentence? When would you use amongst instead of among?
'Amongst' is absolutely a word in both American and British English, amongst many others.
-
Similar to alongst. But amongst is a lot more common.

Quite true. I was just curious as I tend to default to among since that is what I was brought up saying, lol.
-
I think that I was brought up on amongst. It sounds so natural to me. I couldn't believe that the dictionary on FF didn't have it.
-
@scottalanmiller Hence the reason it wound up o nthe Ridiculous Words Missing list, lol.

Australian use of the word
Let's get amongst it! -
How does one use that in context?
-
Did anyone else read this thread and immediately think of Blackadder? Blackadder
-
FF: polenta
-
Canadian
FF has it, Chrome did not!!
-
Not sure if this was added yet... unassociated
-
That's a pretty rare one. Several dictionaries don't even have it, oddly enough.
-
Unrefrigerated
Seriously? Oh well, I guess everything at Google must refrigerated regardless of requirements. -
Virtualization and hypervisor
Of course I've added these to my local dictionary, but still...
-
"Hypervisor" is one of those somewhat ridiculous tech words that I'm happy to be able to say in serious, real life situations.
It sounds like something out of a 90's sci-fi movie.

habanero on FF
-
@scottalanmiller It doesn't try to pick up the n with the ~ on it (How do you even type that on an English Windows machine?)... habañero ? (the ñ is alt, 164).
-
I looked for that, it didn't.

Chrome doesn't have it either... it tries correcting it to haberdasher, which I don't think is really used much anymore.
-
Same word that FF tried to make it. Which do you think is more common?
