Template talk:English grammar

message: Having just created this table, I have just realised that some of the links in it do not only apply to English (D'oh!). Can anyone suggest a usage for this table? My only worry is that if it becomes a series for all grammar, then it will become far too long.

thread_title: Use for this table

message: Given that this grammar template pertains only to English grammar, shouldn't the template be renamed? 66.229.182.113 06:40, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it should. For the same reason, it should also be removed from ~50,000,000 of the pages it's currently on. Ruakh 13:16, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The article named English declension is really about Old English. It shouldn't be together with the rest. FilipeS 21:38, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: English declension

message: Looks like maybe it is time for a full article and a link here for English nouns (currently just a section in Noun. Facts707 (talk) 05:54, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: *′′′Agree′′′ with the above. Great work in grouping together the necessary types.  My only recommendation further would be to include Verbs in the Parts of Speech list and have a collapsible list for these as well as possible to further clean this up. 173.167.211.241 (talk) 17:15, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  English nouns? 

message: Looks like there have been a couple of failed attempts to replace the dictionary photo on this template. Using a photo of clear brand-name dictionaries does seem inappropriate, for both implying that the content of all these articles comes from Longmans, and that the subjects are limited to the scope of dictionaries.
User:Brett's suggestion of :File:A_pile_of_English_grammar_books.png (general grammar books, no prominent publisher name) and mine of :File:Bookman Ornament 9617 (bookshelf).svg (a clipart bookshelf, no text at all) both seem more suitable to a general purpose grammar template. --Lord Belbury (talk) 12:45, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for this, User:Lord Belbury! User:Alborzagros keeps reverting it to the dictionary photos without any explanation. I left a message on their talk page months ago, but there was no reply.--Brett (talk) 13:13, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: For what it's worth I didn't realise that there'd been previous disagreement on the issue, I just replaced the picture with what I considered to be a more appropriate one, and it got reverted by Alborzagros with no edit summary. I'd be happy with either the grammar books or the clipart here. (I also considered :File:Bookman_Ornament_4858_(bookshelf).svg, which is a wider but neater image.) --Lord Belbury (talk) 15:56, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I really liked the original clipart one Belbury proposed. ─ ReconditeRodent « talk · contribs » 08:59, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks like User:Alborzagros is the author of the dictionary photo: File:English-English and English-Persian dictionaries.JPG. I am the author of the photo of the grammar books, but I just put it together to find something to replace the dictionaries. I'm open to other suggestions.--Brett (talk) 14:03, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
