Whether discs holding only a hundred images, even if "jukeboxed" in a CD-ROM drive, will be of practical use for large image collections remains to be seen, but at the very least the Photo CD will offer a relatively inexpensive method of obtaining a modest collection of digitized color images.
Jukeboxing can put nearly 20-36 GB of information at users disposal.

Some researchers have suggested that sentences like (27) may be ungrammatical because they are not in typical usage[…]. This comes down to a definitional issue of what it means to label a string as “grammatical”. If “grammatical” means “generated by the grammar in normal situations,” then such sentences are clearly ungrammatical because we can’t generate such sentences in normal language usage. Alternatively, if “grammatical” means “all of whose syntactic components are part of the grammar,” then such sentences are grammatical.

Hawthorn, for example, can take a good cut and grow back strongly, while still providing shelter for creatures and acting as a natural fence line. Even palisade fencing can be climbed by a determined trespasser, but a good-size hawthorn hedge, lined with thorns and the inevitable brambles, is a serious obstacle.

Etymology: From Middle English formatyve, formatif (“having the ability to form”), from Old French formatif, formative (modern French formatif), from Medieval Latin formātīvus, from Latin fōrmātus + -īvus (suffix forming adjectives with the sense ‘doing’ or ‘related to doing’). Fōrmātus is the perfect passive participle of fōrmō (“to form, to shape”), from fōrma (“a form, shape”); further etymology uncertain, possibly related to Ancient Greek μορφή (morphḗ, “a form, shape”) (see further at that entry). By surface analysis, form + -ative.
