Usage note

this page only describes a rather narrow aspact of the word.. lygophile 01:11, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Lygophile notes that this entry covers only a "rather narrow" use of the word. It is of course the _correct_ use of the word, but an incorrect use (as a synonym for "apathetic") is common enough that it probably calls for a mention here. I'm not familiar enough with Wiktionary style or source conventions to be comfortable making the change myself, but would be grateful if someone did.

Two senses?

Most dictionaries do not have two senses (simultaneous conflicting feelings vs. alternately opposed feelings). If they mention any timeframe for the conflicting feelings, it is generally simultaneous: Wiktionary's sense 1. Therefore sense 2 should be cited carefully. 2A00:23C5:FE1C:3701:24A4:A456:B71E:24F0 16:35, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
