What are Lord Henry's values throughout the book?

That is an interesting question.


To answer this, you need to look at what Henry says, what he does, and what effects he has on others.


If you go by his words, he rejects standard or common views of morality. He doesn’t give conventional understanding of right and wrong much weight, if any. Instead, he continually praises beauty and pleasure. As such, Henry is a dandy, and represents the Aesthetic movement.  


Despite this, he still shows some rudimentary sense of older values. He has friends, for example, and seems to care about what happens to them, and that’s not necessarily part of what a purely Aesthetic position would reveal.


He is also inconsistent. He says influence is a terrible thing, and that no one should be influenced by another or try to influence others. However, he spends a lot of time and energy to influence Dorian.


Ultimately, Henry is an entertainer, justifying his positions through his wit and the speed with which he delivers his comments.


To put all of those things together, Henry values pleasure, beauty, novelty, art, and style. He gives friendship some weight, but is also selfish and inconsistent. He rejects most standard morality.

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.
