Talk:Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer

message: Removed trademark line. If it goes anywhere, it should be on the Iron Ring page (ignoring the merge notice for the moment). I'm not putting it there because I don't think it's very important. FireWorks 20:02, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The article Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer 1925-2000 is about stamps commemorating the anniversary of this ritual; while there is some encyclopedic content that can be written about them, I feel it belongs in this article, not a separate one. Mindmatrix 18:09, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I've removed some less than neutral material on the difficulties faced by foreign educated engineers in receiving accreditation.  Let's be clear on this, The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer is not a formal part of the accreditation process -Dhodges 04:37, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

message: For the record, I am Canadian and do not support either British or American usage where there's a difference in Canuckish (Canucquois? Canuckistani?). I salute the Colours and went on manoeuvres, but kicked the tires at the curb, and realized that judgement calls must be made as to which side of the Big Pond our spelling comes down on. That being said...
While in Canadian English (as in British English), honour is spelled with a "u", honorary is not. The "u" is retained with certain endings (e.g. -able) and dropped with others (-ary). Thus our Prime Minister is the Right Honourable Joe Bloggins, but Colonel Bloggins is the Honorary Colonel of the Moose Jaw Fusiliers. I have checked my Gage Canadian, it gives honorary, as does my Oxford. Chambers online does not list honourary but honorary meaning afflicted with honour. Nor is honourary listed in any dictionary at OneLook, altho' it does suggest perhaps I meant honorary, which is listed in 17 dictionaries, including Oxford and Cambridge.
If you can find a reliable source that honourary is the correct spelling, please mention it, I'd love to see it (no, I'm not being sarcastic or condescending, I really am interested). All references to it indicate it as either an outright error or at best a hypercorrection; only one opinion I can find that seems to lend it (lukewarm) support indicates that it is a form of nationalist Canadian defiance against both British and American orthographic imperialism. Either way, north of the 49th, honorary is correct in all contexts, and undisputably so; honourary is disputable (and disputed) at best, dead wrong at worst. Lacking a reliable source otherwise, it is better to go with the undeniably standard Canadian spelling. --SigPig |SEND - OVER 04:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

message: As the article says, many places do not allow people other than Iron Ring recipients or people with the ring already at the ritual though there are some exceptions.  I do know that the University of Saskatchewan follows the policy of having the ritual closed to the public, but are there examples of places where close friends or family are allowed to observe?

text: ÉTS (École de Technologie Supérieure) in Montreal allows guests to attend the ceremony. I don't have documentation to prove it, but my own parents were there when I undertook the ritual. 45.72.186.90 (talk) 16:22, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
