Apparently there are very few instances that tantamount can be used in its plural form (as a verb) I found this example after aton of searching
“We cannot support the demand of a confederation as it tantamounts to the dismemberment of the country”
-
ooops....
Ingratiates

that is awesome! Love it Egads thanks.😁
Intransient

Most welcome Astrid, was driving me nuts too!
Insistences
-
necessities
I liked the discussion of tantamounts. I looked also and discovered it is an obsolete term. I would think, however, by changing it to a noun, one could use it, "Each person's tantamounts were different." A stretch??!! Sorry!!!
-
egads-thanks. It was driving me nuts, also. it was my word and I found it in the dictionary. When Astrid mention " how do you put it in a sentence" I was stumped. That's one reason I enjoy these word games so much. It's so much fun to challenge our brains.
-
exactly! And when you see the example..it really works! Brain officially stretched. However you are challenging me once again with insistences!
Hmmm
'Their insistences regarding the new menu forced the chef to reconsider.' Does that work, or would you use 'their insistence...' I am once again bamboozled.😀
Tessellates
-
Astrid, that works! The only use I could think of was - 'your constant insistences are demanding and controlling'. Btw, luv the word bamboozled...rolls off the tongue nicely.
Ceanna, I think your sentence works well too. I also read that it was obsolete, with the exception of Britain. How does one write with a Brit accent?
)
Jo, I heartily agree...this thread certainly is a place to flex the grey matter....a ton o'fun!
Senselessly
(It would appear my brain needs to get to the gym...pretty simple compared to Astrid's awesome last word!)
-
Egads...
Your sentence works better than mine does. A flurry of insistences from one person, rather than a group where somehow, the singular use feels better.
ie: the customers were insistent that he use fresh local produce and Penelope's insistences pushed him at last to consider an organic menu.
Howzat?
Necessarily

These insistences on arcane verbiage are tantamount to making my brain feel tessellated! But in a good way 😁.
