[edit] Move of "Bands"

I too considered moving it to "band" but looked it up the OED and found: "The development of a falling collar into a pair of strips (now called bands) hanging down in front, as part of a conventional dress, clerical, legal, or academical." This is true at least since the early 19th century. That is, the normal name for this particular type of band/neckwear is "bands". —Centrx→talk • 08:11, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] It should be Bands

Centrx is right. I checked my OED as well and it seems that the plural form is indeed the correct one. I noticed that user Centrx also did an edit to the introduction a while back to make the intro singular. Should we move it back to plural? Probably, I think. Should we try to make the article consistently use the correct form? Probably. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pjvpjv (talk • contribs) 12:26, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I forgot to revert that old edit when I found out. I have looked through the article and made sure there are no wrong mentions of the singular (found 1). I also added a footnote about it. —Centrx→talk • 05:48, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
