Talk:accessory

RFC discussion: February 2015
Apart from the fact that I'm not convinced and  are distinct in any but the most pedantic of speech, this needs some sort of marking for region/accent, and I don't understand why the pronunciations are grouped apparently arbitrarily. Smurrayinchester (talk) 09:56, 6 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I agree. Having every possible pronunciation just looks silly.  I could add a few more to make the list look even sillier, but I'd prefer to clean it up, showing just the main variants.  The OED says "Brit. /əkˈsɛs(ə)ri/, /akˈsɛs(ə)ri/ ,  U.S. /əkˈsɛs(ə)ri/ , /ækˈsɛs(ə)ri/".    D b f  i  r  s   20:51, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

comparable
This does not seem correct to me "accessory ‎(comparative more accessory, superlative most accessory)" Can someone provide example usage of "more accessory" or "most accessory" for the Adjective form for comparative and superlative? Suggest changing to en-adj|- 2601:46:4001:24E9:908C:A979:768C:731B 04:19, 15 December 2016 (UTC)Joe G

 * I'm not sure I agree: see citations below. It's akin to "more irrelevant". Equinox ◑ 20:48, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
