t Bình Do you add bulk- before a verb to say you do something to a great extent You can, I guess, but you have to be careful not to re-invent the wheel, for one thing. We already buy in bulk, so "bulk-buy" is precious, and the meaning of "bulk-delete" is not readily apparent. "Bulk-" would probably go down better used jocularly, like bulk-hugging the grandkids.
