Henry V quote

[edit]

Not being familiar with the play, I have no idea what different meanings of the word "mock" are supposed to be in that quote. Would anyone be so kind as to write an explanation for that? howcheng {chat} 17:47, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology section

[edit]

I am proposing a separate etymology section. On my browser, the pronunciation + etymology takes up three lines, which seems excessive for a simple introduction. Attys (talk) 22:18, 3 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. In addition, perhaps we should shorten the pronunciation info by removing the "respellings" (ant-ə-NAK-lə-sis and ANT-an-ə-KLAS-iss). Per MOS:PRON, only the IPA is actually necessary. DoctorKubla (talk) 07:46, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jay-Z quote
