Talk:Morale

message: Esprit de corps and morale while synonyms are not entirely the same thing.  I don't want to be mean spirited but this is a somewhat poorly written, badly researched article.  It would be good if someone could split the two back up and work on it.  Perhaps the original author could revisit the topic.
:I would go as far as to say this article is horrific. It is inaccurate, http://www.dictionary.com/browse/morale?s=t vs http://www.dictionary.com/browse/esprit-de-corps?s=t
:Morale: "emotional or mental condition with respect to cheerfulness, confidence, zeal, etc., especially in the face of opposition, hardship, etc." vs Esprit de corps: "a sense of unity and of common interests and responsibilities, as developed among a group of persons closely associated in a task, cause, enterprise, etc."
:The EDC redirect should be removed, and references to EDC should be removed, they are in no way shape or form the same thing. This article has conflated two concepts in a way that is not accurate or helpful to readers.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ren47huj (talk • contribs) 17:22, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

message: The correct spelling is esprit de corps in the French. Espirit de corps is how most English / American spell the term. Which spelling should we use?--Shrieking Harpy Talk|Count 01:29, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  esprit de corps 

message: Though they're related, morale and edc are not the same.  Esprit de corps is, IMO, more accurately described as pride in one's organization, and no better example exists than the US Marine Corps.  While there can probably be no edc w/out morale, presumably there can be morale with edc.  Anybody feel free to elaborate in the text.
Just my deux bits.

<<
== In games ==
- In certain role-playing games, characters may have a morale attribute. This usually serves to indicate how long the character will press a difficult fight before giving up or fleeing. Dynasty Warriors has a very important segment on this, for it means winning or losing.   
-    
- In most strategic games involving military units such as Panzer General or Patton Vs. Rommel, units have morale ratings. These work similarly to the morale attribute in RPG's, where morale is decreased by failed attacks and when it reaches a low level the unit flees, broken.

thread_title: Not just in the military

message: The phrase "Hitler's elite Waffen-SS divisions" in the examples of military units with high morale is likely biased. Various elite German divisions in World War II had high morale, not just Waffen-SS ones. The German Army (Heer) had many high morale divisions, including Grossdeutschland but also other panzer divisions (Lehr, for one example_, as well as panzergrenadier, mountain, infantry, and other divisions. The German Air Force (Luftwaffe) also had high morale divisions, including the Hermann Goering panzer divisions and several parachute (Fallschirmjaeger) divisions.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.126.58.92 (talk) 01:43, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Possible Nazi bias 

message: To my knowledge, and according to the page on french phonology, the uvular trill (represented by a small capital R in IPA) is not present in french, perhaps they meant the uvular fricative, which is written with an upside-down small capital R?

thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: Would some discussion of the word's history in this sense be appropriate?  The Oxford English Dictionary does not provide any citation before the mid-19th century for this sense of the word.  That historical context might be relevant.
