Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.

  • I suppose if someone says ‘I watched a sitcom last night’, you could argue they don't mean they're watching an entire series, just one episode. But this is the usual mania for over-classification, it should be merged with the main sense (in my opinion). Ƿidsiþ 20:51, 14 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
    If you watched two episodes of one sitcom last night, you wouldn't say "I watched two sitcoms last night." On the other hand if you watched one episode each of two different sitcoms, you probably would say exactly that. --WikiTiki89 21:26, 14 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
