[Q]: I'm a programmer and often create login/register forms. I'd really like a single word to use to describe a form that lets the user login/register. Sort of like 'authentication', but that's really more specific to the login part. The next best I can come up with is 'onboarding', but that really applies more to the register part. Does such a word exist? Edit: I'm really looking for this from a coding perspective, not to display on the page (i.e. it doesn't need to be user-friendly). I just want it to be concise so that I can avoid variables like 'login_register'.
[A]: This form is the single point of entry for new and existing users, so I suggest entry as an appropriate name for a single form for both login and registration. The name makes it clear it's the entry point. The only other name that springs to mind is account, but I think that would be better kept for something that allows you to change your email, password, settings etc.


[Q]: I see a lot of times when something is a politically-oriented scandal that the suffix gate is added to the end of the word the scandal revolves around. Examples include: Watergate Weinergate Valijagate (Spanish for 'suitcase-gate') I believe that it originated during the Watergate scandal, but I don't know why the suffix gate was perpetuated to other scandals. Is there a name for this literary mechanism of using part of previously popularized term to elicit a comparison or similar connotation?.
[A]: This is a great example of a back-formation: a word is treated as if it were composed of prefixes or suffixes, then taken apart (incorrectly) and remixed to form new words. Another famous example is cheeseburger. The burger suffix is incorrectly taken from hamburger, which is a dish from Hamburg, not a burger made from ham. Watergate was a big enough scandal, and sounds enough like it's composed of Water and gate, that the suffix has been back-formed into plenty of other scandal names.


[Q]: I am composing a sentence like: 'Some people think we are this, some think we are that...'. Then I want to say that we are neither this nor that. Can I write it in short like this: 'But we are neither.'? Or should I alway add nor after neither, even in this case?.
[A]:
Yes, you could say for example 'Some people are pro gun control, others are anti gun control. We are neither.'
