Pedant's corner

[edit]

A term in sociology referring to the moment when something unique becomes common. There is a problem with this, as something that is unique is, by definition, the only one. Between being unique and being common, there must be other phases like "exclusive", "rare", "scarce" or "elitist", according to the entity under discussion. Or else, the "moment" is a period rather than an instant in time. Notinasnaid 08:42, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
