Is there a term for a gathering of trees in an open field?

Jump

  • Spinney is a nice word for a smallish gathering of trees, alongside copse, coppice, etc. I'm not aware of a term for one specifically in an open field, though.

    • Do you have a mantra that keeps you going through tough times?

    • "There's a thing that I don't know what is" - Is this correct grammar?

  • I don't think I've come across that before, but I'd say it depends on what is meant:

    • I don't know what that thing is.
    • There is a thing, but I don't know what it is.
    • There is a thing such that I don't know what it is. I.e., I do not know what all things are.

    There may well be some other ones, but I don't know what they might be.

    • What's a book you really enjoyed, that you feel like no one else on lemmy has read?

  • My example did not make it to lemm.ee either, so it would not have been exclusively a feddit.uk issue.

    I would be really handy for finding out what's going wrong if there were some way to track the history of a posting as it propagates across instances, but I'd imagine that would be quite tricky to do. On the other hand, perhaps these cases simply correlate with downtime either at the origin or at the receiving instance?

  • This opinion looks a little question-begging to me: do all businesses who declare these kinds of things do so as branding? I myself, don't believe they do as many would be doing so for advocacy for minority groups, for example.
