Is this a word? You don't mean tangentially? I'm having a crisis right now.
- t0astbread 7y agoIs it not? Sorry if I got it wrong, English isn't my first language. dict.cc (my source of truth for English vocab) says it's a word: https://www.dict.cc/?s=tendentially https://www.dict.cc/?s=tendentially
- thfuran 7y agoIt's apparently a word but I'd say it's quite uncommon. I played around with google ngram viewer and had a hard time coming up with a word that is less common. But I finally came up with "astrophotographic". E: "unsurpassingly" is way down there too
- edflsafoiewq 7y agoIt's very common in Biblical criticism (transliterated from German).
- t0astbread 7y agoIt's common in German, so I figured it wouldn't be uncommon in English. Oh well :)

- snazz 7y agohttps://www.thefreedictionary.com/tendentially https://www.thefreedictionary.com/tendentially Probably meant tangentially anyway.
- EForEndeavour 7y ago"Tangentially" would make less sense. More likely, they meant to convey a present-participle form of "the internet tends to be consolidated."
