I rediscovered the word, "Stilted", while reading Jon Meacham's biography of Andrew Jackson, wherein Meacham descripted AJ's first inaugural address as "more stilted than sonorous."

It comes from the physical meaning of stilts. Since one on stilts is artificially elevated, when describing the tone of expression it must mean the same-- that the tone (rather than the actual altitude of the person in question) is artificially elevated, so-- pompous, overblown, stiff, awkward, artificial.

stilt n 1. perna de pau 2. (pile) estaca, suporte m

stilted adj afetado

Yes, of course. Where did that come from? (From where did that come? is stilted and is at odds with standard usage). Note Winston Chuchill's comment on the latter: This is the kind of English up with which I will not put!

There is a Jazz lyric about an "errand girl for rythm." "Errand boy" would seem the parallel case. "Errand person," though, seems far too PC and stilted.

What was your head struck by yesterday? (Some people would say "By what was your head struck yesterday?" but generally this sounds very formal or even stilted.)

troupe "Ensemble" is used more nowadays, especially when referring to television productions.

"Troupe" sounds stilted and archaic by comparison, and is more likely to be used to denote irony or sarcasm.

nice question

some suggest it means unanimously or even uniformly or in unison

& that may be so if not stilted or archaic

but all it actually says is

with or by means of a single or particular agreement

One properly takes one's. Using their for the third person singular of unspecified gender, which has a long unofficial history in English, is better than using his-or-her, which is a stilted political correction, not a grammatical one.

It is a British expression for an orderly, manservant or something akin to a Butler. By the way Batman has Alfred, does he not? Term has never referred to a baseball slugger, though Batsmen (plural of Bat) is sometimes used, and rather stilted.

A country in the Pacific. It is classed as being in(Oceania). an interesting fact is the claim, made by one of the Hobby Manufacturers that The Malaysians invented pile foundations- thenadded a rather stilted argument! It appears to be true. scratvh that up to(Revell Intelligence)

It is correct as it stands. Also correct would be to add the understood verb at the end: You were not as comfortable as he was.

In spoken English, "as him" is perfectly acceptable. In written, at least if not representing dialog, "as he was" is the best answer ("as he" is technically correct, but very stilted).

Literally it means, "I suppose that it is [the] hour to sleep." Less stilted translations might be, "I suppose it's time to go to sleep." or, "I suppose it's time to go to bed."

Stipend, stimulate, stimulant, stimulating, stick, sticky, stilt, stilted, stiff, stiffly, stiffen, stiffening, stiffener, still, stint, stir, stirring, stitch, stitching, stitchery, stitched. (Of course, I assume you're looking for words in English.)

All persons is correct, but rather formal or "legalistic." Perhaps most frequently used by grammarians referring to the first, second and third "persons" of a verb, it may seem stilted in informal speech when meaning "everyone."

In architecture, an abutment helps to support an arch. While a pier is a seaside stilted structure extending from the beach a little way out to sea. A pier may have buildings on it offering entertainment, and amusement arcades, to the visiting public - a common feature of many seaside resorts.

It would be better to say 'Sometimes things can't get any fresher'

Yes.

Note that it sounds somewhat stilted, or jargony (cops would say it), and some people would argue that it's redundant, in that anything which ensues must be later. But grammar doesn't care about formality, jargon, or redundancy. Or even about meaning, for that matter.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyleâ??s â??The Hound of the Baskervillesâ?? is an engaging tale that relies on solid character development and mood to deliver a story that is intellectually and emotionally satisfying and spares us stilted, unbelievable situations in delivering the mystery.

Your sister's husband is your brother-in-law. Most people call their brothers-in-law by their first names when speaking with them, but if you fell the need for more formality, addressing him as "brother-in-law" would work, although many would find it stiff and stilted.

The country name that means Little Venice is Venezuela. It was given this name by Alonso de Ojeda in 1499, who was reminded of Venice when seeing the stilted houses of Lake Maracaibo.

Conjunctions are important because they help connect words, phrases, and clauses in a sentence to show the relationship between them. They contribute to the coherence and flow of a sentence, allowing for more complex and varied sentence structures. Without conjunctions, writing and speech may sound stilted or disjointed.

It's a rather odd, stilted way of saying "This person may be dishonest". Out of context and at a guess, I'd say it's meant to emphasize the likelihood that the person in question is dishonest ("he's probably dishonest"), as opposed to the other way around ("he MAY be dishonest, but probably not").

It is benefactor. There is no "feminine" form because all English nouns are of common gender. If you feel the need to point out that the benefactor is female person, it is possible to use the stilted word benefactress, but not advisable, since it is grammatically unnecessary and besides it is thoroughly sexist to draw attention to the gender of an antecedent.

Dumber is correct according to the normal formation of English comparatives. The frenchified form more dumb may be allowed, but it is stilted.

Neither is correct. It would be 'Have you woken?' It's correct, though it sounds stilted. Most people would say 'Are you awake?'.

The speech heard from the media is a stilted, halting dialect of English that regularly imposes a glottal stop on a syllable normally beginning with a vowel sound, which prevents words, and even syllables within certain words, from running together naturally, as they do in fluent English.

The Samals of Sulu live in boat houses as a traditional way of adapting to their coastal environment. The stilted structures help protect them from flooding and provide easy access to fishing and marine resources. Additionally, living on the water allows them to easily navigate between islands and conduct trade.

The first sentence of the first paragraph of a business letter tells the recipient why you are writing (the purpose of the letter).

Even a formal letter should not be too formal as to sound stilted. The important thing about the language of a letter is to be clear and concise without being terse.

When you buy a home, cottage or cabin that resides on a lake, you get the honor of naming your abode. As in example: "3 Pines camp", "Tom and Marys Perch".....etc.

It is grammatically correct, but rather affected or stilted. Sounds like something a foreigner would say. You're not my boss is how we say it in colloquial English.

The style is very stilted and the sentence is obviously written by a person who does not use English as his or her native language. Hereof is incorrect and is also redundant. Instead try: Any incovenience caused is much regretted.

I recently received a postcard stating that I was eligible for an award of $5276.49 from an "international sweepstakes". I have not purchased or entered any contests, so any awards seem to be questionable. The slightly stilted wording suggests that it was written by someone from another country. It has every appearance of a scam to access personal information.If it's too good to be true,most likely it is

She doesn't. People who know what the various British accents really sound like will recognize that Madonn'a does not speak with one.

Madonna does often over-enunciate and with very measured, controlled diction. It makes her sound stilted (or perhaps constipated), rather than British.

As with everything Madonna, this manner of speech is copied very precisely by Lady Gaga.

He was the first important painter to paint in a 'naturalistic' style, using perspective, which was a huge step ahead from the largely two-dimensional and stilted paintings until then. He was also one of the first to work in (and develop) oil painting. A third - typically 'Renaissance' characteristic was that he was one of the first to sign his paintings instead of painting anonymously like practically all painters until then.

This could be due to the author not fully developing the characters or their emotional depth, resulting in unconvincing or forced emotions. It's essential for authors to create well-rounded characters with authentic emotions to engage readers effectively. Conducting research or drawing from personal experiences can help authors imbue their characters with authentic feelings and reactions.
