Talk:sister

French soeur is not correct. It should be sœur, but I don't know if that shows up correctly on everyone's screen, and I don't know the code of "œ". Some help wanted here. D.D. 19:15 Apr 28, 2003 (UTC)

The "œ" is appear -- correctly -- as connected thin "o" and thin "e" in my Mozilla 1.3 / Win98 Ja -- Petruk 20:33 Apr 28, 2003 (UTC)

It looks OK here too (Mozilla 1.3/Linux Mandrake 9.1). I have to admit though that all the Arab, Hebrew, Chinese and Japanese looks good as well and is editable without being turned into question marks.

Other verb sense
The alleged verb sense "have sex with someone's sister" has failed RFV and should not be re-added without three legit citations. Requests_for_verification_archive/March_2006 Kappa 12:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

sister

 * 1) to have sexual intercourse with another person's sister. Note: only used in past tense and with "d" rather than the standard "ed."
 * ''Dude, I totally sisterd him, and he was extremely upset.'


 * Citations?
 * Is the note about the past tense (which would presumably apply to the past participle as well) true? If so, move this to a usage note or into the inflection line. &mdash; Paul G 09:35, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * This already failed once, so I've removed it. Requests_for_verification_archive/March_2006. Kappa 12:18, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Striking. &mdash; Paul G 15:10, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
