Talk:say yes to

RFD discussion: July 2016–January 2017
And say no to. The construction seems wrong for a dictionary; we don't have agree to or disagree with, etc. The preposition is properly something extraneous. Equinox ◑ 21:31, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Wow, we do have disagree with, but in a figurative sense... Equinox ◑ 21:32, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Few OneLook references have an entry (even a run-in) for disagree with. Usage examples like "They disagreed"/"They disagreed with each other"/"The adults disagreed with the children." seem to me to be instances of the same sense of disagree and to be most informative when juxtaposed.

 * What I'm wondering is that we have these, but not say yes and say no. Pur ple back pack 89  23:23, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * What is a little different about this is the use of the expressions in "say yes to life", ("commit to" [not in entry]), and "say no to drugs", which is the second sense of say no to ("reject"). We once said yes/no to people and to propositions. Now we also say yes/no to things and abstractions without any oral or written expression. DCDuring TALK 23:58, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep but with appropriate defs, i.e. DC's "commit to" and "reject" - in other uses it is just a way of answering a yes-no question ("Would you like a cup of tea?" "I'll say yes to that"), not dictionary material. And add a "Used other than as an idiom" redirect, as in the disagree with entry. - Sonofcawdrey (talk) 19:39, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Bear in mind the 'say' isn't actually required. 'No to racism' and so on. Renard Migrant (talk) 19:43, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Move/redirect: to say yes (and m/r say no to to say no) Pur ple back pack 89  15:04, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep or redirect. — T AKASUGI Shinji (talk) 00:22, 19 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Move to say yes, either leaving redirect or deleting the redirect, per nom: we don't have agree to and the preposition seems extraneous. By the way, "say yes" is in Merrian-Webster in some form. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:40, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
