Expand definition of "Plural"

Open kittensyzygy opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Could the definition of "Plural" be expanded, perhaps with usage examples? As a user unfamiliar with the current definition in Self-Defined, I don't feel I understanding it after having read the definition. "Boogaloo", to take another definition in comparison, gives the word's 'original meaning' and then expands the definition to include how it is used in other ways - might this be a useful type of thing to do for "Plural" too?

I've seen since that "Plural" is an "also read" in the definition "Dissociative Identity Disorde". Perhaps the "Plural" definition could reference DID.

@kittensyzygy Definitely! All definitions can expand, particularly this one. For what it's worth, we want more definitions to be to the extent of Boogaloo, while recognising that definitions are a big and audacious task. So, sometimes we need shorter definitions to get started.

Good call on the 1:1 nature of the linking, though!
