[edit] Pronunciation

What is the correct pronunciation of "Taylor" (where the stress goes)? Reminiscenza 22:39, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

According to the OED it is 'teɪlə(r) using the International Phonetic Alphabet. The ' shows that the first syllable is stressed. The OED entry specifically mentioned Brook Taylor. Mehmet Karatay 12:10, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
I hadn't realised there was an alternative, but good to be complete :-) —DIV (128.250.80.15 (talk) 07:20, 1 May 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Priority

Article says work was unpublished, and claim to priority was "unjustly" disputed. "unjustly" seems needlessly POV, considering that I understand legally (these days) the tendency can be to go with the earlier publication date. —DIV (128.250.80.15 (talk) 07:22, 1 May 2008 (UTC))
