Talk:Exegesis

Why is the fact that exegesis is a countable noun relevant? Why not just delete that link? --Arensb 10:27, 11 August 2007 (CDT)


 * OK, granted, the difference between the uncountable and countable senses is a minor one (same spelling, for example), but that mention was in anticipation of pages linking to this one with both senses. Just trying to be precise. The link on the words "countable noun" is for reference, in case people don't know what the term means; and the mention of "countable noun" in the first place is to emphasize the difference in the senses I'm referring to. I did something similar at Belief, except I didn't link the words "countable noun". - dcljr 20:48, 11 August 2007 (CDT)


 * Ah. I think I see what you mean: the difference between "exegesis" (the activity) and "an exegesis" (a particular text). Just MHO, but I think the difference is clear enough from having "an" in bold, and adding "(countable noun)" just causes confusion. The same goes for "belief" (and "history", if it came to that). --Arensb 11:34, 13 August 2007 (CDT)


 * Oh, fine. Be that way. &lt;g> I've simplified it to just underlining the "An". Will do the same with belief. - dcljr 11:39, 13 August 2007 (CDT)


 * Yeah, I'm one of those militant atheists you've been hearing about: if you don't agree with me, I'll sit you down and tell you where I think you're wrong, and why. Now have another cup of tea, infidel heretic! --Arensb 16:12, 13 August 2007 (CDT)
