Talk:smooth

I was brought to this page by searching for the term mellifluos - I've only ever heard this word used to describe a tune or a voice. Neither of the stated definitions of smooth seem to cover this meaning. Lem73 09:08, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * We don’t use smooth to describe a mellifluous voice. Instead, we say mellifluous. —Stephen 15:40, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * They didn't claim it was. They said that if "smooth" is used as part of the gloss of "mellifluous", there must be a sense for "smooth" that can be understood as referring to voices or sounds. That's a justified note. However, I think it has been dealt with now thirteen years later. 90.186.72.174 02:59, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
