Re: The English Language
Looks like the same person
Looking at that forum, that did half occur to me, but you'd much more normally say disembodied or conceivably incorporate. Unincorporated is just a bit odd.

It's more usually used in a commercial context to mean a business or organisation that isn't a Company. The BCF was unincorporated, but not ghostly or a whiter shade of pale.MartinCarpenter wrote:Unincorporated is just a bit odd.

What's the difference between 'The See-Saw Check' and 'The Windmill'?

Re: The English Language
Not chess terms I`ve ever heard of, but I would guess repeated checks on the same squares, so not any difference.

Re: The English Language
According to Wikipedia, which cites the Oxford Companion to Chess as a reference, they both mean the same thing. It's the tactic, where, for example, Black's King is on h8 and White has a Rook on g7 and Bishop on f6, and alternates captures and checks on g7 to win lots of material with the rook.

What does 'not of course mean in:
Not of course that this is an aspect of the matter to which they themselves would publicly call attention.

Re: The English Language
I suspect there are some commas missing.
"Not, of course, that this is an aspect of the matter to which they themselves would publicly call attention."
In which case, the "of course" is a parenthetical phrase without which the sentence would still make perfect sense.

It is also entirely superfluous and should just be crossed out altogether.IM Jack Rudd wrote:I suspect there are some commas missing.

Re: The English Language
Nothing generic. In a specific field(s) potentially quite a bit, but that'll be basically jargon.

Re: The English Language
Still essentially the same then I'd think, but I wouldn't be surprised to find groups of people with specific shades of meanings for each one.

How is a 'wife' different from a 'consort'?
