Happening at the same time

You might mean simultaneously or concurrently.

I'll tell you what it isn't here:

Concatenation is a standard operation in computer programming languages (a subset of formal language theory). It is the operation of joining two character strings end to end. For example, the strings "foo" and "bar" may be concatenated to give "foobar".

do you mean concomitant?

Re: Happening at the same time


Watch out though Gollum
www.dictionary.com says

CONCOMITANT means:
:- existing or occurring with something else, often in a lesser way; accompanying; concurrent: an event and its concomitant circumstances.
-noun
?-Related forms
con·com·i·tant·ly, adverb
?-Synonyms 1. associated.

NOTE the "in a lesser way"

Whereas CONCURRENT means :
1. occurring or existing simultaneously or side by side: concurrent attacks by land, sea, and air.
2. acting in conjunction; cooperating: the concurrent efforts of several legislators to pass the new law.
3. having equal authority or jurisdiction: two concurrent courts of law.
4. accordant or agreeing: concurrent testimony by three witnesses.
5. tending to or intersecting at the same point: four concurrent lines.
-noun
6. something joint or contributory.
7. Archaic. a rival or competitor.

I somehow feel I might experience more difficulty actually using the former term in written text. Its meaning is so specific, having an almost technical application.

Cheers!

The word you're reaching for is CONCOMITANT, meaning accompanying or associated - but the correct word is CONTEMPORANEOUS meaning occurring in the same period of time.
