Talk:knappologi

, I'm a little unsure of my definition. Could you give it a look or an edit? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 21:42, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
 * , it looks and sounds good to me. Thank you defining the term! --Robbie SWE (talk) 07:45, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
 * To bother you again more than a year later, do you think you could add IPA and a quote with translation? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 00:11, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
 * , sorry for the delay! I added a quote and IPA pronunciation. Please correct any mistakes, cause I'm not all that familiar with quote rules. --Robbie SWE (talk) 11:31, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you; the original quote is certainly of historical relevance, and it's good to have it in the entry, but it would be better to have a supporting quote that uses it in the sense described in the definition (i.e. a context that has nothing to do with buttons). —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 14:46, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

, managed to find a quote, but unfortunately no page number. To be honest, I have never seen this word used by contemporary Swedish authors or in daily press. Maybe I don't belong to the designated target audience :-/ --Robbie SWE (talk) 18:14, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * It's a fun word, even if an uncommon one, and your help on this is much appreciated. Just one more thing: I'm a bit confused about when The blessed isle was originally published — the ety and quote disagree. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 20:26, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , haven't even thought of the conflicting dates, but you're right! Strindberg composed "Svenska öden och äfventyr" between 1882-91, so it's not that unlikely that the term "knappologi" was coined in 1884. The copy I used was published in 1907, in other words, not the first edition. It is also safe to assume that the edition I used was already adapted to follow the spelling reform of 1906. --Robbie SWE (talk) 08:54, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
