If encircled is for a circle, how about for a rectangle and square?

Greetings,

I would like to pick the brain of our English native speakers here.

I'll be sending a screenshot to a client. If encircled is for a circle, how about for a rectangle and square? Maybe framed in or boxed in? How I wish the word enrectangled existed. If only this is grammatically correct, "I enrectangled the misspelled words.

Your help will be very much appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Edit: Just like what I did on this screenshot. I "enrectangled" this sentence assuming enrectangled do exist.

    Without knowing the exact context, I'd say "framed" would cover it.

    You could even just say "indicated" if it's the only item marked on the screenshot.

      Just say the information is in the rectangular box.

      For Example. XYZ company I'm sending you this information. The step that is most important is the information located in the rectangular box

      Do not use the word encircled. Or say enrectangular.

      You could also say if sending information. I highlighted the most important information in the red rectangular box.

      Also, you can say - follow highlighted in the rectangular box.

    'encircled' is usually used to mean 'surrounded' rather than 'round like a circle'.


    Perhaps if you tell us what the reference is that you are trying to make, we can help with the wording.

  • Kay has it right 'bout encircled.

    Bcs the focus here is the center.

    For squares an' rectangles, the Frankster has it right with 'framed' -- but this don't necessarily box us in for othah optshwaahns.

    Hey, but still I gotta play a little.

    Enrected sounds positively dangerous.

    Square pegs for round holes kinda thing. *ouch*

    Plus ensquared is whenya get fooled by a CLEARLY VISIBLE snare.

    What mattahs here is this is a prefix/suffix question.

    An' those are such sneaky lingwistic an' theoretical posits of speak.

    As are all noo an' provocative combos of pre-existent schwango.

    The woid pickpocket broke the rools back in the day when it was foist coined.

    An' yet here we all be, knowin' zackly what it means.

    A momentary turn of lingwistic fate defined our culchrool wherewithal in ways evrywan so can touch on.

    An' that is why noo combinations are essential to thrivin' on along.

    Smartah ansas.

    Broadah horizons.

    Simplah an' easieh ways to manifest the proven.

    An' I would wish always to figure how tongues an' sounds an' grammaticyool manifestations of intention can kinda propulse out into noo stuff gonna help us out with alla our puzzlin' old stuff ... plus also kickstart sum way crazy noo stuff.

    It is often helpful to tempt language into actschwaahn by combinin' elements ain't nevah been seen before.

    An' you cain't always do this zackly at random.

    So the OP's Q is naht an idle one.

    For sure, we can get out the refrence books to check the ansas.

    But we can also cross-refrence till kinda eternity.

    Speakin' for Moi, I take the long view on combinatorial potential.

    * Jus' gotta find the right guy, I guess *

    Aw, now, look, see -- I darn near leckertrcuted musself on muh own darn keyboard with muh self-centered BLUBBIN'!

    * sniff *

    * honk *

    Thing is, combinatorial wins out ovah bunkah evry time.

    Evrywan alive demonstrates this to be so!

    That is why landguidge flooided out before anywan here got smart with the fkr.

    What a productively morphin' platform-cum-panorama!

    (Niche enthoosiasts of the 'Enrectable' genre will no doubt be entertained by that las' remark. Question is: did they gotta sell their kids to partake of the glories?)

    We should keep talkin' to one anothah, jus' to see what happens.

    Broadenin' our encircliture so we always be generatin' optschwaahns.

    Widenin' out so as to inclood.

    Tellya, this is a basic life skill whenevah you stymied, Sweetiepoppets.

    I gaht no ideah I woulda said this without a perfectly innocent prompt.

    But that is life, I guess.



    (Niche enthoosiasts of the 'Enrectable' genre will no doubt recognise a pyoore doity syllable in there. Eithah we shoot 'em or annoint 'em, husserpose.)
