The term used for something that hasn't happened yet.?
The title seems cryptic, because it is, but I am trying to figure out the word for when someone is... Writing a story perhaps, and uses an example of something that historically has not happened yet within the timeline they're referencing.... Example: I was watching Jumanji earlier and Robin Williams character made a Ringling Brothers reference and I was curious to see if they even existed when his character was alive. Which yes, they were. Robin's parents were born in the 1930's and the Ringling Brothers came to be around 1884.
In order to say that something doesn't happen in Spanish, use the word __ before the verb.?

Can I trademark the term Nothingburger if it hasn't been trademarked already?
The more important question is whether you intend to use the mark and how you intend to use it.You do NOT need to register a mark to use it. But a registered mark is legally assumed to be a valid mark while, under common law, an unregistered mark must meet a burden of validity. If you register a mark, you must show that you are using the mark or you intend to use the mark.What are you using the mark for? What goods or services? There are 4 types of marks:Arbitrary/fanciful. Arbitrary marks are English words used for a completely different purpose (e.g. Apple computers, Dolphin brake pads) Fanciful marks are made up words (Nivia, Jablocky, Schlopy). These are granted the most powerful protection.Suggestive marks. E.g. Ivory soap, Clorox bleach, Silky lotion… These are granted the same protection as 1.Merely descriptive marks. These are marks like Woodworks when the toys are wooden toys, Wheelz after market rims, Fresh Orange orange drink… These marks have a danger to infringe too much on other people’s products. These can be registered, but after an additional burden called secondary meaning is established.Generics. These are NOT marks. Apple is fine to describe computers, but not apples. You cannot mark what it is you are trying to sell.Here, if you are selling hamburgers, Nothingburger would fall in the 2 to 3 range. If you are selling Nothingburger lamps, it’s 1.If you want to sell Nothingburger hamburgers, I’d suggest you open your burger stand and immediately start using the mark in commerce. Then, attempt to register the mark. If the USPTO has an issue with the mark and classifies it as merely descriptive, you can show a public association between your product and your mark. Then, you should be good.
What is a better word ending with "-ly" that people should use to emphasize something instead of using the word "literally"?
There are literally dozens of them. Thesaurus.com lists (among others):acutelyawfullyexceedinglyexceptionallyexcessivelyextraordinarilyhighlyhugelyimmenselyinordinatelyintenselyoverlyremarkablysevereelystrinkinglyterriblyterrificallytotallyutterlyEven better is to choose the right word rather than merely trying to intensify the wrong word. Intensifiers should be used sparingly. The right word will vary from context to context; that's the point. The more generic the word, the less value it adds to the sentence."Literally" as an intensifier should be avoided entirely. Language evolves but that's an evolution that hasn't completed, and in formal writing the nonstandard use will sound grating. Restrict its use to things that are in fact literally true, since that's an unexceptional use of the word.
Alright, I think I just came across something that breaks a law of science. Did I just break science?
Alright, so I had my mind on water today, and it somehow drifted over to the topic of osmosis. Now, for anyone who hasn't paid attention in high school, osmosis is the term used to describe water moving from where it is in larger quantities to where it is in smaller quantities. Then I remembered a lesson I had that stated osmosis is powerful enough to triumph over gravity and pull water up from a source, such as if you put a paper towel in a glass of water partly. This is where things got weird: If osmosis can do that, doesn't that mean that you are creating potential energy? Osmosis takes no energy to complete, yet potential energy is formed as water is taken upward. It should be safe to assume almost everyone knows one of the fundamental laws of science is that energy can not be created, nor destroyed. Yet, if this is true then how does osmosis take water upwards against gravity? I think I just broke a well known and accepted law of science with that. Did I really just break science?
Why did car dealerships change the term "used" cars to "pre-owned"?
“Pre-owned” sounds better, don’t you think? The reality is that dealerships are just doing more marketing, but some are able to squeeze more “blood from a stone”. That’s where CPO comes into play. Certified Pre-Owned is a term the car manufacturers started using a few years ago to differentiate cars in a dealer's inventory that had gone through a rigorous inspection process. If one of these cars passed the inspection the manufacturer would "Certify" the car, extend the factory warranty and send the dealer a CPO sticker. It's all rooted in marketing but there is a difference between CPO and used.
