The crowd's not entirely silent, but there's not too much extraneous talking.
Johannes Brahms said: "It is not difficult to compose. But it is terribly difficult to let the extraneous notes fall under the table".
extraneous " not pertinent; irrelevant: an extraneous remark; extraneous decoration."
One handy way to dodge a difficult question is to earnestly begin talking about something extraneous to it.
The lab technicians said that the stray hair found on the toilet seat was from a previous guest who'd stayed in the hotel room, and was totally extraneous to the investigation.Exactly what I saw that night, I'm not sure, but it was extraneous to this plane of existence, and it still gives me nightmares.All seem to make values depend on extraneous factors.Many people may not want all this extraneous software cluttering up their hard drive.
According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, some synonyms for the word extraneous are: accidental, adventitious, alien, external, foreign, and supervenient.
Likely words are "superfluous" or "extraneous." The similar word is redundant (duplicating a function).
Extraneous means 'coming from the outside'.
The comma typically goes before "which" when it introduces a non-restrictive clause in a sentence. For example: "The cat, which was black, jumped onto the couch." If the clause is essential to the meaning of the sentence, then no comma is needed.
No. Sometimes they are both extraneous.
Some books have so much extraneous data in them they are hard to read. Extraneous means something coming from the outside, such as source material. It can also mean irrelevant as: Why do bicycle instructions have instructions for doll houses? Doll house assembly has nothing to do with bicycles. It also means not a vital part of a discussion, argument, story etc. Example: General Grant was called to Washington after the victory at Vicksburg. On the way he picked some flowers and ate chocolate. He was going to meet with Lincoln to discuss the war. The second sentence has no bearing on why Grant was going to Washington.
Advantageous is the odd word because it is not about being conditional.
