Contrairement au verbe spécifier, l'adjectif spécifique n'a pas pris le sens de "indiqué avec précision". Il faut donc considérer encore comme anglicismes les emplois suivants : (Faute) Le ministre n'a pas été spécifique à ce sujet. (Correct) : Le ministre n'a pas été précis à ce sujet. (Faute) : La déclaration du démissionnaire n'était pas très spécifique. (Correct) : La déclaration du démissionnaire n'était pas très explicite. 2, record 1, French, - sp%C3%A9cifier
