What is the resolution for the book Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen?

Flipped is a romantic comedy novel written by Wendelin Van Draanen about the two adolescents named Juli and Bryce. Juli spent years with a crush on Bryce. When Bryce is finally interested, Juli is afraid. If you are asking about the resolution, then you are asking about the specific part of the plot after the climax (when Bryce tries to kiss Juli) and after the falling action (when Juli decides to avoid Bryce as a result of the "almost-kiss"). The resolution is the part of the plot when the conflicts are resolved and any loose ends are tied up. The resolution is the conclusion to the story. In short, the resolution of the story is about the possible continuation of Bryce and Juli's relationship. The resolution happens when Bryce begins planting a tree in Juli's yard (with Juli's father's permission). After Juli gets over the fact that Bryce is ruining her grass, Juli is surprised and pleased that Bryce has chosen to prove his love by planting a sycamore tree. Juli decides it is "time to meet [Bryce] in the proper light."

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

Is 'efficate' a word in English?

I routinely hear the word "efficate" being used. For example, "The most powerful way to efficate a change in the system is to participate." I do not find entries for this word in common English dictionaries, but I do not have an unabridged dictionary. I have checked the OED (I'm not sure if it is considered unabridged), and it has no entry for "efficate". It does have an entry for "efficiate", which is used in the same way. Wordnik has an entry for "efficate" with over 1800 hits, thus providing some evidence for the frequency of use. I personally like the word and find the meaning very clear and obvious when others use it. If it's not currently an "officially documented" word, perhaps its continued use will result in it being better documented.
