Partners follow a progressive set of steps, each with visible markers, toward a clear goal. The goal at the top of the escalator is to achieve a permanently monogamous(sexually and romantically exclusive between two people), cohabiting marriage — legally sanctioned if possible. In many cases, buying a house and having kids is also part of the goal. Partners are expected to remain together at the top of the escalator until death. The escalator is the standard by which most people gauge whether a developing intimate relationship is significant, "serious, "good, healthy, committed or worth pursuing or continuing. 1, record 1, English, - relationship%20escalator

L'adjectif «écologique» est nettement le plus répandu. «Maison saine» (en anglais : «healthy house») est aussi attesté, et est employé par la SCHL (Société canadienne d'hypothèques et de logement), qui utilise aussi «maison écologique». Nous avons aussi trouvé «éco-logis», que nous rejetons, l'emploi du préfixe «éco-» étant abusif, et «maison environnementale» (en anglais : «envirohome»), que nous ne trouvons pas très heureux non plus. Les termes connexes suivants, qui sont en réalité des spécifiques, sont aussi employés : «maison éconergétique» (en anglais : «energy-sufficient»), terme correct; «maison durable» (pour l'anglais «sustainable»), terme douteux; «maison performante» (en anglais : «advanced house»), terme douteux. 4, record 4, French, - maison%20%C3%A9cologique
