Talk:An Essay on Criticism

message: Perhaps "essay" in the title more refers to it being an "attempt"? By that definition, it sounds as if it is an essay (an attempt). <B>zoney</B> ███ <B>talk</B> 22:55, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Essay = attempt?

message: "Ironically, the first line of this couplet is often misquoted as "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing," thus reinforcing the aptness of this very admonition, as the misquote betrays a certain want of learning."
I don't think it "reinforces the aptness of the admonition" because the consequence of the mistake is not that one is uninspired (unable to taste the Pierian spring), but just that one has quoted something slightly wrongly.  What a snooty thing to put in a wikipedia article.—Preceding unsigned comment added by  (talk • contribs) 
:I noticed the same idiocy, and have removed it. I would even argue that the claim about a misquote is incorrect, and that the essay has merely been the original source of a saying that has grown independent of its source.88.77.152.162 (talk) 02:14, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: According to the Rough Guide to Moscow, the fragment weighs 11 tons and the bell 200 tons. As the book says "ton" and not "tonne", I presume it is the ton that is equivalent to 1,016 kg. (See Ton). Graham Colm (talk) 17:17, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Right. Here  they talk of 216 tons and the slab as 11.5 tons. So I guess _those_ may be _short tons_ (if those 216 tons are indeed calculated apart from the slab). dewp  talks of 201,924 kg and the slab as 11,000 kg.

It's just a recollection, perhaps giving someone else a chance to dig up a source should they so choose. You cannot cite UrbanDictionary because it is not a reliable source for that kind of information. Listing that "fox" may refer to cleverness is largely redundant; it's relatively simple transferrance from a characteristic associated with foxes, and that certainly doesn't belong on a dab page. --Eyrian 18:16, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

:Confirmed the pronunciation with the École druidique d'Helvétie in St-Aubin:
::Albio était accentué, sans qu'aucun doute soit possible, sur le i (bref). Le i de rix était long comme le e du rex latin. Il reste long au génitif rigos, mais devient bref et accentué dans l'irlandais rige (royauté) et rigain (reine).
::En composition, albio-rix, l'accent  doit s'être logiquement placé sur la pénultième.
::[Albio was stressed, without any possible doubt, on the (short) i. The i of rix was long like the e of Latin rex. It stays long in the genitive rigos, but becomes short and stressed in the Irish rige (royalty) and rigain (queen).
