Generate the answer for a given question. The question requires common knowledge of English. Make sure that the answer is in detail, long, consistent with the context, and requires general knowledge of English. To be less repetitive, please vary your language for each question. Give a proper explanation to answer, and if necessary, provide the definition of various terms. And conclude your answer if it's long. If you have used other resources (e.g., Merriam Webster's.) to answer the question, include citations in your answer. You don't need to paraphrase the context of your resources, but make sure that your answer is consistent and complete.

[EX Q]: Is the word 'Customizable' a valid English word? Every time I write that word, the spell checker underlines it, and it suggests using 'Customization' or 'Customize'. I'm not a native English speaker, but that word exists in online dictionaries so I wonder why the spell checker underlines it.
[EX A]: The Oxford English Dictionary in its revision of March 2012 defines it as: That may be customized; able to be changed to suit the requirements of the user. Frequently with reference to computer software and hardware. The earliest citation is from 1960. If that definition of customizable suits your purpose, then there's no reason why you shouldn't use it.

[EX Q]: If you look at this gif of a drone replacing a lightbulb, you'll understand what concept I'm trying to find a word for. Using dynamite for fishing would be another example. I'm looking for a word that describes the use of high-tech equipment, for a purpose that is normally filled by low-tech equipment, usually done out of laziness or amusement. This is specifically relating to technology (overengineering is very close).
[EX A]: 'Bringing a gun to a knife fight' or 'Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut' or 'Killing a mosquito with a bazooka' are idioms that convey the sense of overkill, but perhaps not the overly-complex nature of the technology. 'If you have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail' is another close-but-maybe-not-quite-right idiom. It might also be a 'Rube Goldberg solution' or a 'Heath Robinson' way of getting something done, or the solution might simply 'overengineered'. Sources and related questions that might give you some ideas: 'To shoot out of cannon into sparrows' Phrase for overusing just-learned skills? A word that means 'a solution in search of a problem' Saying that refers to not going overboard in solving a problem when a simple solution exists What's the word for Unnecessary Complexity

[EX Q]: Possible Duplicate: What is the difference between an expression and a phrase? Difference between 'phrase' and 'idiom' What is the difference between a phrase, an idiom and an expression? I am looking for the context where one is more appropriate than the rest. I've been using idiom and phrase more or less interchangeably.
[EX A]:
This question asks nearly the same thing. This is the difference between an idiom and a phrase: A phrase is 'a small group of words standing together as a conceptual unit', while an idiom is 'a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words'. So, the difference is that an idiom as an established meaning not directly linked to the individual words. Any idiom is a phrase. As an example, 'raining cats and dogs' is both an idiom and a phrase. 'A herd of cats' is a phrase but not an idiom. Expression has about the same meaning as phrase, except it is usually used of a phrase which is in common use. So an idiom is a certain sort of expression, which in turn is a subset of phrase: idiom > expression > phrase.
