While one student may not be of much value to the team, do we ever stop to think about how much value the team may be to that student? - Madison [more] |

What is the verb that goes with Coopertition?
English Majors please forgive me if I'm not asking the question correctly...
But... If I'm engaged in a competition, I'm competing. If I'm being cooperative, I'm cooperating. So... If I'm engaged in a FIRST Coopertition... what am I doing (in one word)? Cooperteting? Competerating? I'm up for suggestions. Phil.

Cool.
Quote:
co-op-er-tish-on-ing? I think any suggested spellings should have a suggested pronunciation attached.

One post before I head to the kitchen to make the stuffing...
It'd be based off of competing and cooperating Co-opertating.  Happy thanksgiving all.

Re: What is the verb that goes with Coopertition?
I generally go with one or the other, as I'm usually either competing (on the field) or cooperating (off). If I'm doing both, I'm "being graciously professional"
.If I had to pick one I'd go with John's.

Re: What is the verb that goes with Coopertition?
hahahahahahahahahahaahhahaha....
You have no idea how long a colleague of mine and I discussed this VERY thing about six weeks ago preparing to deliver a conference presentation. He posed the question to me and after almost a full day of back and forth, like the veteran English teacher I am, I chickened out and suggested a workaround description. However, out of what's here so far, I like JVN's choice.

Re: What is the verb that goes with Coopertition?
<Not serious>
Coopertitioneering Pronounced as Co-op per tish in ear ring (See, I even managed to work engineering into there  )</Not Serious> Akash's was funny too. JVN's is probably the best but I think that if we tweaked the pronunciation of Dave's we might be onto something since it is much simpler to spell and isn't quite as visually intimidating.

I have to go with lilstogi. It just seems to follow most grammatical rules and sound right.
