I can certainly try but I should warn you that I’ve made it past maybe 4 out of the 30 lessons in the book, a few months ago at that. The excerpt I quoted is from lesson 11.
In any case, the labels he gives to the two different orders are not as yet clear to me, but basically, the professor’s saying that if the order is “adjectives+noun”, eg “happy, jolly, merry Christmas”, then the adjectives “happy, etc.” differentiate the noun Christmas from other Christmases that are not “happy, jolly, etc”…
i’ve not been able to do that yet for the first post of that topic. i don’t see a wrench icon to let me change editing permissions on the post.
a help page said we need to be level 3 user to get a wrench icon?
chan reported the same inability to change permissions on his post.
how do we fix this? do we need promotions, or maybe there’s a way to flag a post to request it to be changed to a wiki style editable post?

what i get in my own posts is this
each stage is accessed with a click on the ellipsis and wrench in turn, i didn’t test the wikification option

Yes, the trust level thing is automated by Discourse, and I don’t know very much about it, so sorry about the confusion. For now, the simplest thing would be to just send me an @ if you want me to wiki-fy a post and you can’t see “make wiki”. I’ll go ahead and make the “Can you hear sound?” post a wiki for you.
