For example, stupidology would refer to the study of stupidity beerology would refer to the study of beer. The suffix is often humorously appended to other English words to create nonce words. There are additional uses for the suffix such as to describe a subject rather than the study of it (e.g. Sometimes, an excrescence, the addition of a consonant, must be added to avoid poor construction of words. For example, the word dermatology comes from the root dermato plus logy. Įnglish names for fields of study are usually created by taking a root (the subject of the study) and appending the suffix logy to it with the interconsonantal o placed in between (with an exception explained below). Logy is a suffix in the English language, used with words originally adapted from Ancient Greek ending in -λογία ( -logia).
The ology ending is a combination of the letter o plus logy in which the letter o is used as an interconsonantal letter which, for phonological reasons, precedes the morpheme suffix logy. Select the paragraphs then choose Numbering to make a numbered list.The suffix ology is commonly used in the English language to denote a field of study. It’s not a good workaround but it’s what Microsoft leaves us with. The workaround is to use numbered lists instead. There’s no direct option for paragraph numbering in Word that works similarly to the line numbering feature. It’s common to find draft documents with paragraphs numbered so that people can refer to each by that number (“We mention government oversight in paragraphs 6, 7, 9 and 12”). Since there’s line numbering in Word, you’d expect to also find a paragraph numbering option. These samples are usually formatted with a special style (fixed space font, indent and a special color) to which automatic line numbering would be very useful. That’s a curious omission since Microsoft developers themselves should be aware of one common use for line numbering – in samples of computer code.
However styles can’t enable the line numbering in the first place. You can use a style to suppress line numbering at Format Paragraph | Line and Page Breaks | Formatting Exceptions | Suppress Line Numbers. You have to choose ‘All Styles’ to see the Line Number style and modify it.Ĭuriously, line numbering itself isn’t a formatting option in Paragraph styles. It doesn’t show up in the ‘In use’ or ‘In current document’ style lists even when it’s being used in the document. Line Number is one of those annoying hidden Word styles.
