Talk:always
Latest comment: 3 years ago by Backinstadiums in topic as always
Look, I've tried to add a legitimate additional usage for this word. In common culture today, the word "always" is being used as an intimate form of "you're welcome." I've witnessed that amongst at least a few married couples.
What is the problem in adding this here?
- You mean like any time? Ever seen it in print? Equinox ◑ 07:52, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
"any time" would be the interjection between friends. "always" would be the interjection between lovers or spouses.

May I have your permission to add it now?
I'll assume silence to be assent.
- At best, that's one citation. You need three from independent, durably-archived sources (books by the same author, or references to the usage in those books by others, aren't generally independent). See WT:CFI Chuck Entz (talk) 03:39, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
