Gazetted edit
FYI: "Gazetted" is a verb and "gazette" is both a noun and a verb: wikt:gazetted wikt:gazette. Wiktionary is an easy way to check. In the Wiki search bar, type: "wikt:" followed by the word. Just as in the previous links. Gazetted does seem rather archaic. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 20:16, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
- Au contraire, mon ami. If you want a reliable reference for the English language 'Wiktionary' is the last place to look. Contributions are made by anyone injecting their personal ignorance and illiteracy. It is like a person who can not perform simple arithmetic contributing to a textbook about calculus.
If you consult a high quality, established dictionary you will find reliable information about parts of speech, written by experts.
It is widely known that US-ians (excluding the well-educated minority) have very little command or understanding of the English language and a strong tendency to invent it as they go. How you approach language determines whether you develop into an illiterate or an expert.

Only the fourth didn't have an entry containing "gazzeted". Is this the one you referenced? Adakiko (talk) 12:53, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
- Wonderful, "Adakiko". It is opinions such as yours that makes US education such an object of ridicule in much of the educated world. 86.191.214.39 (talk) 20:50, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
