Talk:signify

perhaps the slang meaning of this word should also be included.

signify (slang)- relating to an overt or implicit showing of one's freedom in the presence of inmates or convicts.

As from Kerouac when he wrote, "I went to talk to the prisoners, but didn't tell them of my travels cuz I didn't want to signify." (paraphrase)

 * I don't see how paraphrasing something is likely to convince anyone that the author used the word precisely that way. Offhand, I do not think that that nonce use would merit a definition line.  If it were to be used figuratively, it would be much more general, instead of being limited only to inmates.  --Connel MacKenzie 23:12, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

comely maidens

Etymology

Welcome & Links in Headers
Please don't do this, it isn't the proper formatting for Wiktionary.

Hello, and welcome to Wiktionary!

If you have edited Wikipedia, you probably already know some basics, but Wiktionary does have a few conventions of its own. Please take a moment to learn our basics before jumping in.

First, all articles should be in our standard format, even if they are not yet complete. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with it. You can use one of our pre-defined article templates by typing the name of a non-existent article into the search box and hitting 'Go'.

Notice that article titles are case-sensitive and are not capitalized unless, like proper nouns, they are ordinarily capitalized (Poland or January). Also, take a moment to familiarize yourself with our criteria for inclusion, since Wiktionary is not an encyclopedia. Don't go looking for a Village pump – we have a Beer parlour. Note that while Wikipedia likes redirects, Wiktionary deletes most redirects, (especially spelling variations) in favor of short entries. Please do not copy entries here from Wikipedia if they are in w:CAT:MtW; request the full history import instead, at WT:ID.

Finally, you can link Wikipedia pages, including your user page, using pagename,, or. Please do not create redirects to Wikipedia pages, though. They don't work.

We hope you enjoy editing Wiktionary and being a Wiktionarian. --Versageek 23:36, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi,

You seem to have a misapprehension about the "Related terms" header. We use it for terms that are related etymologically; for example, metal, medal, and mettle are all related terms, as are price, prize, and praise, but newsgroup and usenet are not. Does that make sense?

Thanks for fixing the formatting on my (first) wiki-entry. I think I unfixed it, in error, I think we were both working on it at the same time. However - I didn't think Anatomy was needed as a catagory or, if it was, I wanted it after English and Adjectives and the same applies for the Latin catagory as it only applies the etymology and too many words could be said to be Latin derivations for it to make a useful catagory. Do you how to get my catagories in order of relevance and/or do you know anyone who can check my IPA pron.? Also my first attempt.

 * It's really not so bad; the whitelist is within a user JavaScript, but you don't need to modify actual code. Just visit User:Connel MacKenzie/patrolled.js, click the "edit" link, scroll down to the whitelist (if you have a decent browser, you can do this by hitting Ctrl+F and searching for function wiktWhiteListed(), and add or remove the relevant user by adding a comma followed by the username in the right place in alphabetical order. (N.B. The comma is essential.) Replace any spaces in the username with underscores. For IP addresses, use the IP address as the username. The only tricky thing is if the username has weird characters in it, in which case the simplest thing is to actually visit the user page and copy the right part of the URI. If nothing else, keep in mind that enough admins are watching that page that you can't make a long-lived mistake. Go ahead, give it a try! :-)  —Ruakh TALK 21:44, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

This is really a Wikipedia issue, but it relates to Cardiff Arms Park and whether the Millennium Stadium should have been merged or not....the end result is fine, I agree the two articles should be separate, but I found this site on the web http://www.blizzardfunpark.com/ clearly under the logo of the Millennium Stadium it says "Cardiff Arms Park"...anyway it is FYI only89.240.66.194 22:20, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Pronunciations
An edit like this is backwards. The template should come at the front of the line to identify all the pronunciations on the line. If it is placed at the end, people won't notice it. --EncycloPetey 15:04, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Cheers for that. I've seen it done both ways, but I'll make sure I put it at the front from now on. As there are lots of entries out there with it at the end of the line, I'll edit any that I come accross when editing the page otherwise, but I'll not go on a hunt for them. It might be something that AutoFormat can handle when it visits a page though. Thryduulf 16:36, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, is there a specific place the should appear and/or a set order for,  and  renderings? Thryduulf 16:43, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I understand about your question; could you elaborate a bit?  As for enPR, IPA, etc., I put them in alphabetical order and that's how it usually seems to be done.  So, enPR comes first (when it's there at all), followed by IPA, then SAMPA. --EncycloPetey 00:50, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * re:, should this be at the start of the line or the end? i.e.
 * /blah/
 * or /blah ? Thryduulf 01:03, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Neither. If there are multiple pronunciations, and these depend upon the part of speech, then there should be more than one Pronunciation section. See predicate: for an example of how I handle these situations. --EncycloPetey 03:05, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Rhymes octopus
Rhymes in English are not based solely on the last syllable. The rhyme includes everything from the vowel of the primary stress syllable. So, octopus: is inlikely to have rhymes, since it it stressed on the first syllable. See Rhymes:English for more information. --EncycloPetey 03:04, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

hwyl
Following is the material that illiminated the meaning of the word for me:
 * Writers very often mystify matters by using words that are not intelligible to their readers. Some with the air of classical knowledge will tell us that "hwyl" is an "afflatus;" and -i good many readers win ask, "What is an afflatus?" They may as wea aver that "hwyl" is a kind of atmospheric disturbauce caused by windmills. It Is mere rhetorical enthusiasm. It is a nautical metaphor. "Hwyl" is a "sail;" and when the Welsh say that a man is In a good "hwyl," they mean that he is moving along or enjoying himself immensely, navigating gloriously on a sea of good feeling. When a man enters into a discussion of a subject enthusiastically, he is said to be "sailing" into it, which is exactly the Welsh idea of "hwyl." It is somewhat akin to spread-eagleism in politics. The Welsh word "hwyl" Is used generally in a good and, par excellence, In a religious sense. There is, however, one peculiar characteristic of mis hwyl which is especially Welsh. This is the peculiar cadences of the Welsh preacher when he is on the high sea of inspiration, when in a grand breeze and with all sails spread, he moves majestically to the goal of his sermon.
 * b.g.c. has a couple of other illuminating hits on "hwyl". DCDuring TALK 04:01, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

λοπαδο.....
Please take a look at Category:Ancient Greek nouns, and click on λ. This is why I have refrained from categorizing it. Would you be willing to revert? I realize that we generally want each and every entry categorized, but certainly exceptions could be made. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 03:43, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes, I see what you mean and have undone the categorisation. I know the sort order can be changed, which might enable us to fudge the categorisation by filing it so it is not going to disturb other words (perhaps by making it alphabetically last or something), but is there a better way than this? Thryduulf 04:10, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Many thanks. And yes, sorting it with something that places it at the end is not a bad idea.  I'm not quite sure how that would be accomplished.  I suppose a lot of other non-Latin scripts come after the Greek characters; I'll have to think about that.  Another solution I've been considering is moving it to an even further truncated title.  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 04:23, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Oh, and I don't know if anyone here would be capable of doing an audio for any Ancient Greek word. I certainly can't produce the requisite phonemes, and I've never quite figured out how to properly do tonal accents.  -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 03:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

 * My comment was intended in a tongue-in-cheek manner, but I'll bear in mind about Ancient Greek audio pronunciations being unlikely as it wasn't something I was aware of. Thryduulf 04:10, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Dirigist and its English cognates
Thanks for your improvement of the dirigist entry and getting the {rfap} squared away. Would you please look at the related terms list on dirigisme also? I have made minor contributions to the dirigisme and dirigist entries, but there is one other related term that I have not done so but needs attention: dirigiste. I've never seen the singular form in my reading, but that doesn't mean it isn't used with that spelling. As you saw in the dirigist entry, I did supply the quotation with the example of plural usage dirigistes as part of an entry that you modified to a singular form in the dirigist entry. As you can tell, I know very little about parts of speech and dictionaries but I do run into interesting words from time to time in the social science literature and try to help Wiktionary with additions of examples.

Mutation headers
Hmmm... having a separate "Mutation" header sounds like a good idea, but it should be level 3 rather than level 4 since the mutations don't depend on the part of speech. In other words, where a noun and a verb are homographs, their mutations are homographs too. Angr 17:17, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well... I have difficulty keeping my temper when talking to him, so we'll just keep it at level 4. Angr 17:37, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It's just not a big enough deal to me. If the bot changes Mutation headers to level 4, so be it. I don't care enough either to try to talk to him or to bring it up at the beer parlor. Angr 17:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

head and -head and head-
I would have thought that railhead and others using head as a suffix would be shown as derived from the suffix -head. There seem to be more than 20 entries like that. I don't think that the terms that are hyphenated or with separate words would be shown that way. I suppose that a term like headquarters ought to be shown as derived from a prefix head-, but I'm not so sure about that. -head and -hood have some relationship. -head is also missing a sense, IMO. OTOH, there are plenty of cases where words are combined without it seeming appropriate to call either of the combining words either a prefix or a suffix. Before I go further with this I'd like at least one other person's PoV. DCDuring TALK 15:51, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

 * The thing is rail head is not using head in any of the senses listed in -head but in the sense of "the top (uppermost part) of something" [head, noun sense 5]. I'm not certain that we have the sense defined at head that either sense of railhead uses; the second sense is possibly related to the "source of a river" but there doesn't seem to be a general "the end of something" sense? Thryduulf 16:15, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

 * -head is incomplete. At the very least it needs something that refers to head and incorporates those senses by reference. head also reamins incomplete despite the considerable progress. It is a good example of some of the hardest words, the really old common ones, with layers of figurative usage in many contexts. MW3 and Collegiate both have a sense: "both ends of something with indistinguishable ends", using "drum head" and "bridge head" as examples. Would that fit? How about -head as in bulkhead or even beachhead? Or "head" as in cape? I think I like the source-of-a-river sense for railhead because railroads have often been built from ports, following rivercourses, with branches often terminating in rather remote places (jerk-water towns!) at higher elevations. DCDuring <i >TALK</i > 16:43, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

 * holy-moly. I just found my first outright error in MW3. The define bulkhead line erroneously to be the line beyond which a pier could not project. That is pierhead line. I just confirmed that bulkhead line is the line for solid fill. Their def. of pierhead is correct, by the way. DCDuring <i >TALK</i > 16:51, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

 * I think railhead, in the sense of a goods loading point, is could well be related to beachhead, at least in terms of the sense of -head being used. Unfortunately I'm the best part of 200 miles away from my dead-tree reference books until Monday so I can't see what they say unfortunately.
 * If this is the case, should we split railhead into separate etymology sections? Thryduulf 18:26, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think that "both ends of something with indistinguishable ends" applies to any of the rail transport senses, as in all cases it is very easy to distinguish ends. Thryduulf 18:29, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

 * At least you are not 200 miles from an internet connection. I was thinking of equivalent terminuses. Hmm, gee, err, well I guess I don't like the idea of creating separate etymologies when the etys are so close, though I have done so in cases not quite this similar. As I think about it, I'm less and less sure that it is very productive to call head a suffix as it is arguably, well, if not the head morpheme of the words in question, then at least co-equal with "rail". I may need to get good linguistics and lexicography dictionaries and a good grammar, if not Huddleston, then Quirk, to help me with this kind of question.

Oh, one more thing. Right now, when I look at the category Category:Uzbek nominal affixes, all of the entries are stored under "-" instead of which letter they begin with.

I don't even remember writing that comment, but thank you for adding the photo. I'm sure I know why I wrote it, though. I used to be a drum major in my youth and parade announcers would often take it upon themselves to know more than the comment cards and announce me as a "drum majorette" or "majorette". I have nothing against majorettes, of course, but it's not what I did.

AF and rfc-tsort
Hi, thanks for looking at these!

I've added code to AF to handle (some, most?) of the cases of checktrans followed by trans-top or top, so we don't have to fix these manually.

I've also removed the bar on 's in language names; they shouldn't be there, but do not affect the ability to sort. They are better caught by the list at User:Robert Ullmann/Trans languages (which, note, is seriously out of date because we don't have a current dump). When starting from that list, one can work through all of a particular problem case systematically.

Thanks for highlighting any oddities. Robert Ullmann 14:16, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Mismatched wikisyntax
The program is in the process of rechecking vs the "live" wiki; there is a lot that has changed in the last 45 days, and I've just fixed some bugs. So it is going to rewrite the report presently. If we want sections to strike, I'll have to add it into the code; else they'll keep going away ...

I figure I can just re-run it every day or two if people are working on it, and the fixes will be reflected. Robert Ullmann 16:34, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Sorry to be tripping over edits; I was still fixing a lot of stuff; I've put the headers in, and will run it again. From that point, it should be okay if you and others section edit and strike things, while the program is run to update the whole thing once in a while.

If you're not too busy, I'd like to you check out Connel MacKenzie and see if he still fits the administrative bill.

Greek etymologies
I've noticed that you've been doing some nice cleanup with etymologies. One thing to keep in mind that nearly all English words from "Greek" are from Ancient Greek (grc), with only a very small handful from Greek (el). When you see, for example, you can quite safely switch it to. This distinction eludes most (probably because few etymological dictionaries makes such a distinction, nor need to, simply saying "Modern Greek" when it comes up). However, on a multilingual dictionary such as ours, I think it an important distinction to make. Many thanks. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 01:00, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Thryduulf,

Thanks for adding a pronunciation to [[catenary]], but I'm confused: does British English allow a schwa to be stressed like that? Because American English certainly doesn't, and I didn't think British English did, either.

Hi there
Yes, there is a Wikipedia policy against it, but due to alternate situations, it is not dissallowed here (currently). I would have subst'd it, except when I did that before, it took up about four lines of text, so I was in fact told to subst it. There is also an administrator here doing the same thing, so hopefully it isn't that bad. ;) 15:03, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

unused
Thanks for the effort on this. So, to oversimplify, it is the transfer from the following to. Glad I noticed the possibility. A question is whether the explanation and "t" pronunciation should be at used to (which certainly would need it) and unused to (not sure it merits a separate entry). If the explanation belongs at unused, it should also be at used. Also b.g.c. shows nearly 200 raw hits for useta, which is certainly good eye-dialect representation of the speech I grew up with and usually hear in NYC.

Manual etymon language template reformatting
First of all, let me say thanks for all the work you've done with this project. However, a thought: The standard etymon language templates are far too numerous to be done by hand, we really need a bot on this one. The community reaction seems to be positive enough, so I think it'll happen in time. However, there are templates, such as and, which must be switched to  instead of. These cannot be switched by bot. I wonder if your extensive manual labor might be better served with them. Bear in mind that it is just a thought, I have absolutely no problem getting the transition to etyl done sooner than later. If the con-langs aren't your cup of tea, I'll bother you no further. -Atelaes λάλει ἐμοί 05:30, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the note about using the short forms of the en-verb template. The problem is, I haven't figured out what I need to type to use the short form so I just use the long form.

Garage pronunciation
I actually did mean to enter the <ɒ> for garage, but I'm not really certain that's the right way to do it.

I'm not certain to what degree this differs from the typical US <ɑ>, or to what extent we should be expressing the phonetic differences between US and Canadian vowels in a phonemic pronunciation placed between slashes /.../. The Canadian Oxford Dictionary uses the same <ɒ> for this pronunciation—their scheme is not perfectly standard, and their key includes a cat, ɑ arm, ɒ hot.

Any advice? —Michael Z. 2008-08-30 23:30 z

Are you sure about the UK pronunciation? The ash character represents the vowel sound in cat. --EncycloPetey 19:07, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

 * The final vowel in British pronunciation is definately, and although I'm slightly less certain about the first vowel, there is no standard English phoneme that is closer. Thryduulf 19:12, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Cambridge gives, , and ofr the UK.  They use the "a" in father for the final vowel; they also stress the final syllable rather than the first. --EncycloPetey 19:19, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * hmm, I'll concede the stress, but my pronunciation (which is not radically different to that around me) the final vowel is short rather than the long of father. The second pronunciation you give, "", sounds like what I would expect of an upper class RP speaker but definitely not of everyday modern British speech.

finicky
Is finicky: really pronounced "fi- nick -ity" in U.K. English? —Ruakh <i >TALK</i > 23:47, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

 * No, but the alternative form (with identical meaning) finickity: is. I didn't actually realise until your message that the word was finicky:. Looking at the results of quick google and bgc hits for "finickity" it appears to be colloquial, but as one source claims it as Scottish, another Australian and a third American I'd say it was pretty widespread one! Thryduulf 19:32, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

/a/

 * I have started a discussion; in fact there's been a lengthy conversation at Wiktionary talk:Pronunciation going on since January. You certainly have tradition on your side, but apart from that I am hardly alone in thinking we ought to present more accurate info.  Most importantly (in my view), the distinction between [a] and [æ] is one of the prime differences between UK and US English.  Also note that the OED now uses /a/ in its UK transcriptions.

encyst
For some English dialects, insist is a homophone. --EncycloPetey 18:51, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It shouldn't be that surprising, since many "en-" words are pronounced . In fact a quick browse through the Cambridge Pronouncing Dictionary shows that most such words are listed in there with dual pronunciation.  A prime example is enlist:, which I normally hear in the US pronounced with  rather than .  --EncycloPetey 18:59, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Butting in, I found that MWOnline shows both, though personally I would like to hear a distinction. Also, some of the recorded pronunciations in other dictionaries are almost or completely indistinguishable to my ear. DCDuring <i >TALK</i > 19:07, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

put the pedal to the metal
Actually the pronunciation isn't fully predictable from the components. The word the: has two possible pronunciations alone, depending on emphasis, which will not be obvious to a non-native speaker for this phrase. Also, the primary stress locations are not obvious when the phrase is assembled. I don't think we can rule that certain entries should not have pronunciations. --EncycloPetey 17:09, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks for letting me know. I think the pronunciation I'm talking about is much more common in the US than elsewhwere, judging from the locations of the newspaper hits at News. There were no non-punning hits for "petal to the metal" (involving florists and trucks or petals coated with metal) outside the US AFAICT. DCDuring <i >TALK</i > 17:56, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

--Connel MacKenzie 23:36, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Transtool
Hi! comments: first, copying translations can be useful, but encouraging it is not a very good idea; people often assume that word translations are symmetric and/or transitive, they are generally not, even in fairly simple cases. (Especially in "simple" cases. Obscure technical terms do often translate one-one from language A to B to C)

Someone should only be copying translations from A.wikt to B.wikt for language C if they are familiar with all 3, and preferably a native speaker of C, although this is not always practical. (Ojibwe? Ancient Greek? Classical Nuahatl? ;-)

That aside, your tool is doing more than it needs to; to move from the nl.wikt to the en.wikt, all you need is to replace:  *{{  at the start of each line with  *{{subst:  and save it. We use the gender templates, and we have a {{temp|trad}} template for compatibility (redirects to {{temp|t}}). If you convert {{temp|f}} to f, someone will just have to put the template back later. Robert Ullmann 09:21, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Robert.
 * Surely, people have to use every tool with care. I am surely aware of that. One only has to copy translations one knows that are correct. However, in essence the tool does not make any difference, one can always copy the translations (the danger is purely in the open view of the GFDL).
 * Well eh, I can't agree with your last remark. What if you want to do the reverse (namely copying from en.wikt to nl.wikt)? The template also does not convert e.g. {{f}} to f, instead it converts f to {{f}} if the checkbox "change m, f and n to templates" is checked.
 * Annabelleke 14:03, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Your example (1a/1b) shows gender templates being converted {{f}} to f ... perhaps it is just the example that is bad? Robert Ullmann 14:09, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's correct. (Shit happens we say) I just translated the page from Dutch and then of course source and result are interchanged. Thanks again for mentioning. Annabelleke 13:54, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

translation template
Regarding discussion about translation templates, its syntax and functionality, here's what I imagine: Two different translation templates are needed, one for basic need which will probably be used 95%+ of the times, and one with more code covering all extra functionality that would be needed for special cases, such as linking to two different norwegian wikts, the chinese wikts and customizable internal link-text etc. I have made a template for the basic need to work with. This should later be renamed to. With this template I work from the idea of 1) all translations using the template, even if no link is supplied for the foreign wiktionary, 2) no matter if the link to the foreign wiktionary, same template is used, both for red and blue links, 3) an extra set of language templates as are to be made, because the existing language templates only works with  for the TOP40 languages since they are provided in the templates naked, with no brackets. ( is created as example) 4) links should not be provided to entries of wiktionaries that does not yet exist (this is also a must if we don't want to create many thousands of templates, and I also don't see any reason at all to link to a wiktionary that doesn't exist). If users want, they can still adding translations as normal with only, this will be automatically changed by the bot, at later update. The syntax is "". ~ Dodde 21:29, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:grommet

grommet/grummet/grom
I think "grummet" is an old spelling just for the traditional sense but there are references which state that "grummet" is a British slang term for the female genitals.

I've heard "grommet" used for surfers way before the internet, probably 25 years ago here in Australia.

This is what I've found so far on Usenet:

Before 1992, all "grom" references on Usenet are to graphics ROM.

Mar 14 1990: first skateboarding rereference for "grommet":

May 27 1992: first surfing reference for "grommet" and "grom":

Nov 20 1992: first bodyboarding/boogie boarding reference for "grommet":

Feb 21 1994: first bodyboarding/boogie boarding reference for "grom":

Jan 25 1995: first snowboarding reference for "grom":

Jun 11 1998: first wakeboarding reference for "grom":

At least "grom" seems to be also used for "skimboarding" but perhaps only due to that pastime's closeness to surfing.

References to "my grom" suggest that it may also now mean "little brother" or "son".

 * For "grommet" used in gliding-sports as "young beginner", it seems very near to "groom" & "mate"...
 * I see from WP that a lot of surgical grommets exist. In France, coronary, urinary & vascular grommets are called "stents". But a tympanostomy grommet is called a "diabolo", owing to its shape, & many parents who know that their infant has "diabolos" set into his eardrums are, I think, relieved by that ludic and matter-of-fact denomination...T.y.Arapaima 07:50, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

grUmmet has a small entry in my Webster's IIIrd Int.al Dico.

Talk:organization

what is the difference between an enterprise and an organization

I'm sorry for no reply so long... I cant actually explain them but a few examples can: organisations (or -iza-): NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) or the EU, but even journey's are organised by organisation. E.g. one of my friend who lives in Ireland often comes to Hungary with a group which are the part of an organization, too. Enterprise is something I'm not sure in. If I remember well, if you have a shop that's your own enterprise. Or if you and your friend have a restaurant that's your enterprise, but this may be wrong. Sincererly, Ferike333 14:31, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Or enterprise can also be something you've decided to do, I think. E.g. I've decided that I'll invent a vihicle that makes no smoke. It's my enterprise. --Ferike333 19:20, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

 * And Ian Fleming was American when? And it predates the talkies by quite a bit, was in Anglistische Forschungen in 1901. Robert Ullmann 08:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Baum was American, which is the earlier reference. Chambers gives the etymology as "U.S. facetious". Which issue of AF would it be in, and which article? 1901 would put it in the first seven issues, which are not very easy to come by. Are you certain about this?

 * Fleming wasn't American, but he didn't write the lyrics; Richard and Robert Sherman did. 66.66.188.32 23:40, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Might this be a perhaps-intentional corruption of a compound or a compound of perhaps-intentional corruptions of Germanic roots meaning "protection against thunder": Dutch donder + schutten (cf. donderbus → blunderbuss) or German Donner + schützen?

 * Hmm, interesting idea. Its always good to explore. The etymology I heard, though, is that its a blend of umbrella and parachute with bum at the beginning "to make it more interesting".  I doubt that we will find citations for *umbershoot, etc, though, since the word seems to have appeared all at once rather than evolving "normally". — Soap — 12:09, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I was wrong ....  we have bample citiations for both forms now. — Soap — 17:15, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

Talk:breath

Do we need to add something about how this is (very!) commonly misused in place of the verb breathe? I've even seen it in books, which would argue that the editing staff has passed it. Since breathe is a word used quite often in my field of expertise, I run into it a lot. Did I mention that it drives me nuts? --Catseyes818 11:58, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't recall seeing that error, myself. (But now I'll probably start noticing it!)  Such information belongs in a ===Usage notes=== section, indicating that it should not be confused with the verb breathe.  --Connel MacKenzie 18:02, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I added it as a misspelling because Ive seen it a lot too, but perhaps Usage notes would be better. — Soap — 23:52, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
