: You have item three [http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/philosophy?view=uk here] that might fit. the use of the word. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 07:15, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

:: I managed to earn a doctorate in philosophy without actually learning anything that would suggest the usage of the word in this article is inappropriate. Just saying. <font color="darkgreen">[[User:Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters|LotLE]]</font>×<font color="darkred" size="-2">[[User talk:Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters|talk]]</font> 08:24, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

== Syntax box ==

It seems that the colored syntax box PNG-equivalent is wrongly rendered; the PNG is missing some variable that shows OK when looking at the SVG. Anybody knows how to fix that?

:Works fine in every Firefox version I've looked at it in (which is quite a few, since I've watched the article for years, and provided the original syntax-highlight example... someone else converted my PNG to SVG). I think something is weird in your individual system setup. <font color="darkgreen">[[User:Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters|LotLE]]</font>×<font color="darkred" size="-2">[[User talk:Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters|talk]]</font> 19:24, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

:Scratch that, I lied! I just zoomed into the actual SVG in its image page, and I also get weird drop-outs in FF. Tried it in Safari, where it renders fine. I wonder if this is a glitch with ''new'' FF versions. I'm thinking that going back to the PNG might be reasonable for a while. <font color="darkgreen">[[User:Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters|LotLE]]</font>×<font color="darkred" size="-2">[[User talk:Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters|talk]]</font> 19:29, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

== Quote in the history section ==

Is it really needed? What ABC was inspired by seems tangential at best, let alone giving that much space to a quote from Guido about it. I'll remove it, and probably just put in a note that ABC was inspired by SETL in the history section, unless someone thinks it adds significant value.

:I agree. The material in the quote is worth keeping, but it's not so special that it should be put into an offset quote. [[User:TJRC|TJRC]] ([[User talk:TJRC|talk]]) 17:12, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
