everywhen

Question

Hello, Have you ever met the word "everywhen" in some real context...?  (Adam Fawer uses this word in Improbable.  In italics.  I'm just curious.)Thank you for your input, as always.

Hi,

No. Although I like it.

No. It's the sort of word that most native speakers would immediately understand, but classify as "not a real word" -- if I ever came across it, I would expect it to be in italics or quotation marks. One could argue that is should be a "real word" -- I can't think of any good reason why it's not. But, sadly, it's not.

Thank you, Clive, khoff, for your input! Yes... it's somewhat sad that there's no place to use it.

I wanted to quote from that book, but I cannot find the place where it's used right now... I may post later!

Thank you again

According to a Google search, it is the name of a rock group.

It reminds me of the time I was being emphatic in a statement and accidentally coined a new word by saying, "that is absonotly true!" It stuck, at least in that group.

So... you weren't so sure about the truth...?? Sounds like a Freudian slip!

I'd like to quote the place where the word is used, if you don't mind, just for my records. The author describes a yound dying woman:
___________________________________________________

Julia said what she needed to say. Now it was finally time to rest.
Now. The word rolled over in her mind; it seemed so foolish. She remembered how important it had all seemed, but that time was over. In 3.652 seconds there would be no more Now. Only the pure and beautiful everywhen. And in the everywhen, there was no smell. If nothing else, for that, she was grateful.

Hi,

Google is useful sometimes for learning English, but remember that there is a lot of incorrect English on the Internet. Just because Google finds it does not mean that it is correct.

Muslimah, you are so kind

Thank you for your correction and kind words. From now on, I'm going to take it that the antonym of "now" is "everywhen" ..

Have a cheery weekend! [8]
