Talk:Glittering generality/Archives/2013

Could someone please either merge this article with code word (figure of speech) or draw a clear distinctions of the terms. To me they look very similar. Mikkalai 16:50, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Also, relation to "Loaded language" term would be useful. Are there any other terms from the spectrum of "deceitful" speech? Power word maybe? Mikkalai 16:54, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Why is this in the categories 'British culture' and 'Politics of the United Kingdom', since it is specific to neither and doesn't even mention them directly? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.9.152.239 (talk • contribs) 11:11, 26 May 2006 you need to be more detailed! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.30.190.89 (talk • contribs) 02:57, 28 November 2006

An earlier reference to "glittering generalities" in "On the Trail, An Outdoor Book for Girls"

This book, published in 1915, is in the Guttenberg Project Library

"However, this is not to be a book of glittering generalities but, as far as it can be made, one of practical helpfulness in outdoor life; therefore when you are told to strike the trail you must also be told how to do it." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.20.200.184 (talk • contribs) 23:34, 22 May 2007
