moded

"A fit to suit. His pipe was as moded as his ideas." I don't understand what this is trying to say. It looks redundant to sense 2, though ("contraction of outmoded", i.e. dated). Equinox ◑ 20:07, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

The history of this entry is instructive: the user who created it only created two other entries, one of which was slippier- I suspect it was an error for modded.The usex was added by the user who fixed the formatting, so it probably is based on a wild guess at the meaning.

IMO this whole entry suffers from incompetence aided by lack of attention. The Adjective header was added by an en-3 Finnish editor, and seems completely wrong: the adjective senses would be covered by the "past tense and past participle of mode" verb sense- if there were a verb section at mode. The only other editors aside from bots were obviously there to fix specific things, and didn't look at the entry as a whole.

So far I haven't been able to find anything in Books remotely like the rfved sense: aside from the "having a mode" or "put in a mode" participle senses, there's a lot of scannos for "moved" (due to old scripts) and "modest", one that supports the "embarrassed" sense, and not much else- but I haven't begun to look through all the hits. I did completely check "was moded" and "as moded" before I started on the bare word. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:07, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Oops! The usex was part of the original entry. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if the "Example:" section was intended for the entry as a whole, and was made with the "outmoded" sense in mind. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:17, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
