Talk:P. G. Wodehouse
|
|
P.G Wodehouse's writing style involves strange plot devices such as engagements to get out of, cow-creamers to recover and so on and so on.
I wouldn't exactly call Jeeves humble, but I hesitate to change that. zadcat 09:56 Sep 1, 2002 (PDT)
- Jeeves is definitely not humble. He's smugly superior, but in an underhand way that Wooster never notices. -- Tarquin 10:03 Sep 1, 2002 (PDT)
- Point taken. I deleted "humble". Perhaps one adjective is enough. -- Heron
Actually whilst not denigrating the linguistic prowess of 'Plum' I think you will find that the name of Sir Thomas Browne's name occurs far more frequently in the OED than Wodehouse. Incidentally Browne knew the Wodehouse's of Kimberley Norfolk whose ancestors fought at Agincourt, but whether related to the master of the social yarns of P.G. I dunno.Norwikian 14:29, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Pronunciation of his name: WOOd-house vs. WOAd-house? Actually, I seem to remember hearing a TV or radio interview with him many years ago (probably when I was in college, in the early 1960s, and had a Jeeves-monkey on my back) in which the man himself said his name was properly pronounced "Wood-uss" -- sort of eliding the H and O sounds. Anybody know for sure? ---Michael K. Smith 21:17, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Book reference 2
I've changed the format of Template:Book reference 2 so that instead of 'ISBN=nnnnnnnnn' it takes 'id=ISBN nnnnnnnnnn'. This is so that we can use it for books that don't have ISBNs. I'd update this article, but User:Rdsmith4 has an inuse message set, so this is a reminder for me or someone else to make that change once the article's no longer marked as inuse. —Morven 22:22, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
- I've made the change. [[User:Rdsmith4|]] 22:40, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Drones Club Article
It seems to me that there is a Drones Club article. -- Two Halves, unlogged and unstoppable
- So there is. Pardon my confusion, but what's the purpose of your comment? [[User:Rdsmith4|]] 03:04, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- There was no active link in the article, and I didn't want to mess up all the work you were doing and/or be instantly reverted. So, now you know. -- Two Halves
