Talk:Hue and cry

message: I find the section about it being a media-specific usage a bit dubious.  In Canadian usage at least, the phrase merely means "raise an alarm, make a fuss," in other words the simplest sort of analagous use.  Someone complaining to a group of people noisily and what have you.  The specific case of a -media- hue and cry doesn't seem to be an unusually important use of the phrase, and the part about opposing sides inevitably forming around an issue seems downright unrelated to the phrase.  142.167.160.206 (talk) 07:15, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Contemporary usage 

message: The origin is late Middle English, from the Anglo-Norman French legal phrase hu e cri, literally ‘outcry and cry', from Old French hu ‘outcry’ (from huer 'to shout'). -- Evertype·✆ 20:09, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you have a reliable source that says that, it could go in. As it is, I see nothing much to support it. The OED defines "hue" as "Outcry, shouting, clamour, esp. that raised by a multitude in war or the chase. Obsolete except in 'hue and cry' n."; and gives the etymology as "Old French hu, hui, huy, heu, outcry, noise, war cry, hunting-cry, noun of action to huer to hoot, cry, shout". It also says "There is some ground to think that hue as distinct from cry originally meant inarticulate sound, including that of a horn or trumpet as well as of the voice", citing Blackstone's Commentaries (1769), which defines hue and cry as "the old common law process of pursuing, with horn and with voice, all felons". Again, that could go in. GrindtXX (talk) 13:03, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

Talk:The Wonderful Adventures of Nils

message: I almost thought the bit about the geese being named after Finnish numbers was vandalism, but I had to be sure about it, so I downloaded a free e-book copy of the book and checked it. Sure enough, they are named after the numbers, although Lagerlöf misspelled two names: Iksi should be Yksi and Kolmi should be Kolme. I feel ashamed to say this, but as large a part of the Nordic cultural heritage this book is, and how greatly I enjoyed the comic and TV adaptation of it in my childhood, I have never read the original book in its entirety. JIP | Talk 19:55, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: About the number-names - it is for sure Finnish. As for Iksi - for example in the Russian translation all this names are translated closely to numbers - Yuksi, not Iksi. Sura, 83.69.244.7 (talk) 11:50, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't speak Russian, but according to the above, it's unfortunately still wrong... "yksi" is pronounced with a /y/ sound, like 'ü' in German or 'u' in French (I don't think native English speakers can manage to utter this sound). It's definitely not a "you" sound. JIP | Talk 21:10, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

text: The first German translation (1907/08) has both Names spelled Yksi and Kolme, so it was probably a printing error replicated in the ebook. (some of them, mainly the free versions of Project Gutenberg etc. have obviously been just ocr'd without proofreading). 176.5.6.149 (talk) 20:47, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: I have just undone a load of edits, including yours, in the article. It looks as though an editor involved in the article I think might be merged in to this article came and made some inexperienced edits which were then reverted in part and built upon.

We can discuss it in all its aspects here.  I've also had a very preliminary go at cleaning up the source article. It doesn't matter much which of the three articles survives or which is merged.

The philosophy presented is often misinterpreted. The criticism is that Berkeley claims that we live in an illusory world, when in fact, Berkeley advocates for the acceptance of ideas as real "things." When we refer to an object, we don't refer to a material form, but to the idea of the object that informs our senses. Berkeley doesn't propose that nothing is real; he proposes that ideas themselves comprise reality.
