This is hard to explain. What’s the word to describe the event that takes place when you’re explaining an event while at the same time carrying out the said event.

For example, there is a saying "90% of all quoted statistics are made up"

In this sentence, the action of quoting a statistic is what’s taking place, furthermore, the purpose of the sentence is to explain that statistics themselves are usually made up. So, it’s a sentence that describes it’s own behavior.

Is there a word that describes this act/event?

Case-in-point. Not a word, I know, but the phrase fits.

I uninstalled Microsoft Word, Office etc because I didn’t have enough memory for it. I’ve recently installed Abiword and while I’m happy, when I tried to get a word attachment from my email, there was an error. Is it possible for me to convert the document from Word to Abiword?

Just download Open Office. It is automatically compatible with any and all Microsoft Office files including Word, Excel, Power Point, etc.

I use it exclusively and I love it soo much.

I am going to put this question in words and word play. It doesn’t really belong there but if I put it in its proper category, the answer might be too self-evident for some people. Best answer goes to the first person who gives the correct answer.
You guys are too smart for me.
Thanks for the spelling correction, Plain Jane. As you might well imagine I did not use spell checker for this one. Actually I did check it out of curiosity and got a big blank. Anyway, I typed my version into Google and most of the entries came up with the way I spelled it so I guess I’m not the only one who doesn’t know how to spell. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=+Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious&btnG=Google+Search It was spelled correctly in Wikipedia. Good for them
Thanks for the star Elizabeth and for the fun link

The Disney movie "Mary Poppins".

All 34 letters of this word were made up for the movie, Mary Poppins, by a writing team of two brothers, Bob and Dick Sherman.
The Shermans wrote all the songs for Mary Poppins, including "A Spoonful of Sugar," "Feed the Birds" and "Chim Chim Cheree."
"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" means nothing, really.
It is a very long nonsense word that is made up to sound like you are terribly smart and "You’ll always sound precocious." Now we use it to mean that something is fantastic or super-fabulous.

If my friends and I are planning a party and we all have diferent ideas. (For ex. If I like chicken and my friends don’t, or My friends like chinese and I don’t, but we finally come to a decision and the party turns out the way we all wanted it. What would be a word to decribe how we came up to theis decision. But the word has to begin with the letter C.

I need a word for wanting to help others for a paper i’m writing. I am supposed to choose 3 words that best describe me and I can not think of just one word that means wanting to help others.

Volunteer, philanthropy, unselfish, altruistic, benevolent, goodwill, humane, open-handed, unstinting, generous, charitable, bountiful all describe persons who give to others something of value, or the acts of such persons.

Generous stresses the warm and sympathetic nature of the giver: a generous gift; generous in praise of the work of others. Charitable places stress on both the goodness and kindness of the giver and the indigence or need of the receiver: charitable assistance to the needy; a charitable person, always willing to help those less fortunate than themselves.

I purchased blank invitations for a bridal shower, and upon arriving home, realized there was not a website listed to download the word template to print the invitations.

The invitations are 7.5" x 4."

I need to figure out how to resize the word document to make a template that size so I can print them.

Thanks in advance!

You can make a custom page size in word that matches your invitation. Go to page setup.

My brother is trying to figure this word out, but we can’t get it. Plagiarism is not the word because that is taking credit for someone else’s WORK. Can someone please help me with this. Thanks!

When someone disavowed another’s actions and christened it as their own, that someone was not only encroached upon another’s rights but also poached from the benefit of another’s actions.

Poach:
8. to take without permission and use as one’s own

2. transitive and intransitive verb encroach on something: to encroach on somebody’s rights, territory, or sphere of operation in order to appropriate or remove another person or thing

To stop this opportunist or troll from getting away with this one again would be another question. What I would do first is document to the person in charge by email, work order or scheduling the status of my plans of action as a progress report.
For example: (Emailed to supervisor)
‘As being a part of the science team, later today we are going to try my idea (I’m so excited) of seeing if temperature will make a major difference.’

Some large companies have company guidelines from poaching innovation from individuals. Eating someone else’s lunch on their dime will generally have negative repercussions in the long run.

I want to call a friend on their bull shit. Its like in a movie when the geek rattles off about some new invention in techno-babble and the hero looks perplexed through all of this then he replies "can you tell me in english?". Well, my friend is like the geek but he does it only around other people to make himself sound cooler. So, any word like the one above?

verbose= pleonasm== Using more words than necessary " a verbose speaker."

I saw this word in an article about a new Japanese robot that was built a few years ago. It was supposed to act like a child, ask questions and learn and speak "cutesy" talk. Some people interviewed about it said that responses were mixed, with some people displaying this word I can’t remember where they hate the robot because I act almost like people, but they still aren’t.

There’s the "uncanny valley", a concept formulated by Masahiro Mori, a Japanese roboticist. Mori tested people’s emotional responses to a wide variety of robots, from non-humanoid to completely humanoid. He found that the human tendency to empathize with machines increases as the robot becomes more human. But at a certain point, when the robot becomes too human, the emotional sympathy abruptly ceases, and revulsion takes its place. People began to notice not the charmingly human characteristics of the robot but the creepy zombielike differences…

Coin a new word to describe a common object or phenomenon. To accomplish this you will: write the word; identify it as a noun, verb, adjective or adverb; and use the word in three different sentences. You will be judged on your word’s usefulness and your creativity

Coining a new word is a form of neologism. A neologism is a newly coined word that may be in the process of entering common use, but has not yet been accepted into mainstream language. Neologisms are often directly attributable to a specific person, publication, period, or event. For some examples of neologism see sources.
