Talk:Descant

message: Among other minor edits for clarity I've added the sentence "Nowadays the counterpoint meaning is the most common.".  My justification for this is not that it's the only definition I'd ever heard before ;) but that this meaning is listed first in all the meanings listed on Dictionary.com.  Hope that's sufficient; if not, please remove or reword. --Suitov (talk) 14:32, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Common usage 

message: Why are there 2 Wikipedia articles on what are merely two versions of the same word? The OED lists 11 historical forms of "descant," and discant has no particular priority in the quotations provided to illustrate the word. 
There is to be sure a historical development in the meaning of descant, and that should be an important part of an article that traces the term from its emergence in polyphony to descanting above hymn tunes, which is how it's best known today.
I also posted this comment on the Discant talk page.

Talk:Khaak Aur Khoon (novel)

message: I have not read this book, though I have heard much praise for Naseem Hijazi. Unfortunately, I believe the problem with the article is not the book Khaak aur Khoon itself, but the writer of the article. For one, the grammmar is atrocious, proper nouns are not capped and at times I could barely understand what the writer was trying to say. Second, this article is blatantly racist towards Hindus. I am a Muslim and I don't agree with anything stated in this article. Either way, this article is terribly one-sided and biased and needs a lot work. 151.197.117.178 (talk) 22:41, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Post town

message: The post town isn't technically required in a UK address that has a dependent locality or double dependent locality. The requirement is as many of sub-building, building name and building number as needed, then a dependent thoroughfare if one exists or else the thoroughfare (where one exists), and any one from double dependant locality, dependant locality or post town, then the post code.
Hence, post town is not actually required for an address with a dependant locality, where that locality is registered in the PAF, but would be required otherwise. It's considered 'best' in the advice to consumers hand-writing letters to use all the locality information from the full (official) postal address but the guidance in Clear Addressing is You must include at least one locality element. You don't have to include them all,even if they are included in PAF®.

thread_title:  Ambiguous Post Town Names 

message: In the official addresses, why is it that some localities are listed for everywhere in that area whereas others are only listed to distinguish a road with the same name?  It seems to be the more outlying localities (which are more often thought of as separate places) for which the locality's name appears in every address in the area.
Here is the finder: https://www.royalmail.com/find-a-postcode 
I shall use some examples local to me from Leeds, Wakefield and Dewsbury.
For Leeds, Headingley or Kirkstall is only used for a handful of addresses to distinguish the road.  Morley or Rothwell is used for every address in the area, although LEEDS is always underneath it.
For Wakefield, Outwood or Wrenthorpe is only used for a handful of addresses to distinguish the road.  Horbury or Tingley is used for every address in the area, although WAKEFIELD is always underneath it.
For Dewsbury, Chickenley or Earlsheaton is only used for a handful of addresses to distinguish the road.  Thornhill or Whitley is used for every address in the area, although DEWSBURY is always underneath it.

thread_title: Who's Paul

message: In Italian cooking in general and in Roman cooking in particular cheese, even if added at the end, is considered an integral part of the sugo. No one would dream of writing a recipe for amatriciana or carbonara sauce without mentioning cheese, which is one of the main ingredients. As a matter of fact all the sources (in case of arrabbiata Carnacina-Bonassisi) mention it. The problem is in the translation of sugo: while in Italian those used on pasta are sughi, salse are used for boiled meats or fishes. Unfortunately in English there is only one word for both, sauce. In any case, the optional addition of cheese is well referenced, so it stays. Alex2006 (talk) 15:35, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
