Talk:ledger line

[[leger line]] should me merged with [[ledger line]] or vice versa. Not sure which is better. --WikiTiki89 (talk) 13:36, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia has Ledger line. The template's link at leger line goes to a redirect. Chuck Entz (talk) 13:52, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Lemming test: AHD has only [[ledger line]] and no mention of [[leger line]]; COD has the main entry at [[leger line]] and a cross-reference thereto at [[ledger line]]. Google gives marginally more hits for "ledger line" than "leger line" at .uk sites (4760 vs. 3040) and considerably more (1370 vs. 276) at .edu sites (which I assume are all American). Unrestricted for site locations, I get 84,100 hits with the "d" and 46,500 without it, so maybe it would be safest to make [[leger line]] an [[ledger line]]. —Angr 14:11, 12 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I didn't remember this, but apparently I looked into these two spellings five years ago at w:Talk:Ledger line and discovered that "ledger" is the etymological spelling; the lines are so called because they were written in a ledger, not because they are light, slender, slim, or trivial. —Angr 14:42, 12 September 2012 (UTC)


 * ✅. Thanks for doing the legwork / research, Angr! - -sche (discuss) 00:08, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
