There is no such verb as "to opinionate". "Opinionated" is an adjective, not the past tense of a verb. So "what she opinionated to be proper etiquette" is grammatically nonsense. "Opined" would be correct but is a bit obscure... I have changed it to "considered" instead. TomH 19:19, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Her date of birth

We currently say 27 October 1873.

Her grave says 27 October 1872.

This says 3 October 1873, and professes to refute alternative dates - “Emily Price's birth date is variously reported as October 3, 27, or 30, 1873”.

So that makes at least 4 different dates. Which, if any of them, is actually the correct date – and how can we be sure? -- JackofOz (talk) 16:08, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
