<< review queue entry 86059 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> Aug 7, 2016 - 好多人说，最近剧荒啦，... 2018不再剧荒!史上最全暑期观剧指南 30+部国产好剧重磅来袭!!! 还在剧荒吗,四部良心剧,推荐给你 强推八部超精彩的高分英剧,送给剧荒的你!_ I suggest keeping the timestamp (since just "neologism" will eventually become outdated, and it can be useful to know roughly how old a word is), but changing the format to (neologism, attested by XXXX) since it is difficult to determine when a word was coined, whereas we can document when it was in circulation. richwarm (2026-03-01 17:33:23 EST) "c. 2016" suggests that it was coined around 2016, whereas the intention was to say sth less definite -- that it was in use by no later than 2016. |
