Talk:Blood, toil, tears, and sweat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isn't the quote:

"I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this government: "I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat."

The parts with ministers seems incorrect to me...

[edit] Proposed article title change

The use of the serial comma is common in US English, not in Commonwealth English. As Churchill was very precise with his language use, and would not have used American forms, I suggest that this article should be moved to 'Blood, toil, tears and sweat'. I'm changing all references within the article. 86.140.132.49 12:44, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

The Churchill Centre gives the speech as 'Blood, toil, tears and sweat': they should know. 86.140.132.49 12:47, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree, and I shall move it.(Midnightblueowl (talk) 17:10, 18 February 2008 (UTC))

It wouldn't let me, and I now see why not - the speech was originally given by Roosevelt, an American, and not the British Churchill. (Midnightblueowl (talk) 17:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC))
