message: The paragraph on Maury Maverick conflicts with the wikipedia article on Maverick. This article calls him a Congressman with the Small Plants Committee; the full article says that he was out of Congress by 1944, working for the Small Plants Corporation.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.45.160.47 (talk) 14:18, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

message: Officialese and Legalese are just a type of Cant_(language) - "A cant (or cryptolect) is the jargon or argot of a group, often employed to exclude or mislead people outside the group" or at least successor languages to cants.
In the middle ages, many guilds used such cant as a way to maintain exclusive control over the guild's subject area. Thus members of a guild could talk among themselves without fear of being overheard and understood by outsiders. Perhaps the most well known of these is Thieves' cant. There should be a brief discussion of such or at least cross-reference to these articles. Ileanadu (talk) 07:53, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

message: I would think, personally, that gibberish is a is emotionally-driven temporary utterances that sound like words possibly in the form of sentences but do not make sense in one's spoken language.  I would consider gibberish not to be the same as talking in one's spoken language and not making sense most likely temporarily after knowing that one is being stalked for roughly a week.  However, I typically think of gobblegook as gunk or sticky stuff. 74.108.154.127 (talk) 03:34, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I had the same impression about the word gibberish, but I was wrong - sources here and a large reliable mainstream dictionary agree that the primary meaning is obscure, jargon-heavy use of language, or words to that effect. Gobbledygook *sounds* sticky, but it's definitely language and not a substance.  TooManyFingers (talk) 23:40, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

message: "...Another usage of gibberish is as part of Rajneesh's "Gibberish meditation"."
- this sentence seems like its so out of the blue, like its trying to shoehorn the sentence in the paragraph
- why is it in the acting section.
I am removing it, please find a better place for it
