  1. usage

    Habit is a tendency or inclination toward an action or condition, which by repetition has become easy, spontaneous, or even unconscious, or an action or regular series of actions, or a condition so induced. Custom is the uniform doing of the same act in the same circumstance for a definite reason; routine is the doing of customary acts in a regular and uniform sequence and is more mechanical than custom. It is the custom of tradesmen to open at a uniform hour, and to follow a regular routine of business until closing-time. Habit always includes an involuntary tendency, natural or acquired, greatly strengthened by frequent repetition of the act, and may be uncontrollable, or even unconscious. Habitude is habitual relation or association. Custom is chiefly used of the action of many; habit of the action of one; we speak of the customs of society, the habits of an individual. Fashion is the generally recognized custom in the smaller matters, especially in dress. A rule is prescribed either by some external authority or by one's own will; as, it is the rule of the house; or, I make it my invariable rule. System is the coordination of many acts or things into a unity, and is more and better than routine. Use and usage denote the manner of using something; we speak of one person's use of language, but of the usage of many; a use or usage is almost always a habit. Practise is the active doing of something in a systematic way; we do not speak of the practise, but of the habit of going to sleep; we speak of a tradesman's custom, a lawyer's or a physician's practise. Educationally, practise is the voluntary and persistent attempt to make skill a habit; as, practise in penmanship. Wont is blind and instinctive habit like that which attaches an animal to a locality: the word is now almost wholly poetic. Compare DRESS.

How to use usage in a sentence?

  1. Egil Juliussen:

    Only ride-hailing companies have good, extensive data on usage, so automakers want to be connected with that.

  2. John Tombleson:

    It is this increased customer base, as well as additional usage from our pre-existing customers, that has driven our growth and therefore upgraded guidance.

  3. Lam Khee Poh:

    Everything is plugged back into the grid, whatever we collect, we bank it in, and then we draw it out for usage. So we keep account of how much comes in and how much goes out every day.

  4. Raymond Bingham:

    What we have seen for years is that when secondary laws are passed in states that do not require seat belt use, usage rates go up considerably, another sizable jump is seen when states transition from secondary to primary enforcement. This is most likely attributable to people not waiting to get a ticket and feeling like their chances are much less, which they are, when a secondary law is in place.

  5. Jonathan Perry:

    It's really important that people see a language like Welsh as something they can interact with and use on modern devices, it brings the language up to date with modern technology usage which is absolutely so essential that a language feels fresh and used.
