... Can you use it in a sentence or something? Do you mean entity, plural being entities?

An entity is something with distinct and independent existence.

Nobody ever typed it phonetically before. It's understandable I didn't make the connection.

i can't remember what it's called, but computer scientists run into it in artificial intelligence applications involving real language, when the algorithm is not comprehending the boundaries of words or of the many ways some words can sound like other words. humans, as high-level wetware computers, are not immune to this, especially when listening to song lyrics.

I think Enties is a type of Pokemon. :))

EnTie is an Asian bank.

NTs refer to the mainstream type of people who do things as expected in their culture and society. Different cultures can have completely different NTs. (The culture I grew up in value intelligence, reason and logic.)

Enties are baby ents, but ever since the entwives vanished the pitter-patter of tiny roots have not been heard in Fangorn.

Tolkien's term for the children of Ents and Entwives was entings. Enties, on the other hand, should probably be written NT's (as in Neurologically Typical).Wikipedia on the Ents

I participate sometimes on a forum dedicated to the Myers-Briggs Personality Index, so it took me reading for a few hours here to realize that NT on this forum means NeuroTypical and not "NT" as in the MBTI sense (iNtuition-Thinking).

It's particularly confusing since I'm an NT in both senses. :?
