message: Euphemistic I understand but I don't see how changing "snout-amuser" to "mouth-amuser" is hypercorrection. 
An amuse-bouche is actually eaten by humans, not animals, so if it is any kind of correction it is not hypercorrection. And "euphemistic hypercorrection" must be a contradiction as a euphemism is, by its nature, a deliberate inaccuracy (for the sake of tact). If anything I would call it a plain old euphemism although it is more of a "posh way of saying". --87.224.68.42 (talk) 11:17, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Tom Clancy's Net Force

message: Tom Clancy has set the timeline in 2010.I'm sure some imagination must be used when predicting the future, but an author must draw the line between that and going overboard, like new boomerang sports, a totally restructured education system, and weapon systems being used which are probably only in research phase now, also I am not sure what is the role of Net here, as specified in the title of the series, it seems mostly a fantasy tale from the technical point of view, when you consider the fact that Clancy's strongest point (or one of his strongest) is attention to detail. What exactly is the qualification of some of the leading characters in the main unit (ie why are they in this unit) is not made very clear, unless they are made members of a high tech unit on the basis of their excellect interpersonal skill/ obscure martial art knowledge alone.

thread_title:  Timeline 

message: I really enjoy reading these books, simply because of the futuristic aspect of it.  The time is not too far into the future and the really noticable change from this time, to their time is the use of the Internet.  The weapons used - and Tom Clancy used a very sneeky way of getting out of making new weapons - are usually current weapons because 'they are a lot more dependable' then the new ones... 
The Internet crime was a very good idea, mainly because now, it seems very real that VR could be the next best thing to happen to computers. 
The jobs of Net Force seem appropraite, but only a couple seem like they accually belong to Net Force.  Smokin' ( or Lightnin' ) Jay Gridley seems the perfect person for the his programing job.  And Colonel ( or General ) Howard seems the perfect man to do the fighting ( so does Julio ).  But Toni Florilla and Alex Micheals seem... out of place.  But, most head jobs aren't often given to those who aren't perfectly suited to the purpose of the company.  They are usually picked for being good desicion makers, so they aren't that out of place.
All in all.  A very good job.  But, in the Changing of the Gaurd, will we ever see Alex and Toni again?  I haven't gotten that far in the series.

Category talk:Towns by country

message: I tend to disagree with the current first two sentences of the category page: Note that the category Cities by country seems to be significantly more populated than this one. If you consider creating a subcategory, think of creating it as a subcategory of "Cities by country" instead.
Practically every area called a "city" (in either common speech or legal definition of local government units) can be considered to be a town, or at least to have a town of the same name as one of its main constituents. So a list or category of "towns" is not invalidated by having some cities in it.
But not every town is a city. So a list or category called "Cities of XXXland" would be invalid if it contained places that were definitely too small for anyone to consider them as cities (unless they were one of the rather rare cities of under 2,000 population in some countries such as USA). It should be renamed "Cities and towns of XXXland" and would go in this category but NOT in "Category:Cities by country". That's why I've just (in defiance of the opening "guideline") added "Cities and towns in New Zealand" here (and, yes, I will now work out how to get it under "N").
I suggest we reduce confusion and overlap and non-inclusiveness, by merging this and "Category:Cities by country" into a "Category:Cities and towns by country". It would not be potentially unworkably huge: no more than twice the size of the bigger of these two. And, with a bit more standardisation of word order and selection, users could easily see whether the country they were working on had a "Cities in" and/or a "Towns in" or a "Cities and towns in" and could decide where to put articles and subcategories and consider merging (if their distinction was too artificial) or separating (if that country did have a rational criterion for distinguishing). We could also do away with the laudable attempt but very vague introduction to this category.

Wow, then you obviously don't know much about the actual history of noise or Emil, whose full title pretty much IS Emil Beaulieau: America's Greatest Living Noise Artist. And anyway, you listen to neofolk. - blah
Boyd Rice is the founder of "noise music"? He is important for industrial and noise concepts, but he hardly founded "noise music". People were making what we would label as noise recordings long before Boyd was born. Emil's moniker surely is "America's Greatest Living Noise Artist" and deserves to be included, he is more often than not billed as this for his live performances. Wiking06 13:43, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
