Some of the "disputes" presented in the above-named wik/en article are listed as "misconceptions" in the article of this talk page. It sure seems that one of them is "wrong" -- or at least not Wikipediaish.[[User:Kdammers|Kdammers]] ([[User talk:Kdammers|talk]]) 22:57, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

: I came here from that above article, and will be posting there shortly - its just base line wrong on many points: The "disputes" are simply prescriptions some people hold to - or perhaps at least in part, reflect former usage patterns, but not current ones (and thus, ie don't really make much of a dispute...). So yea, in my view, taking these as "wrong usage" is a misconception. Well, lets see if I get round to changing or merging that other article, but its funny that this article is marked as "neutrality disputed" and the other one isn't ... :P .
