Talk:string

The third definition (any long thing flexible object) might be a bit overbroad; I bet many languages have a specific translation for string (of an instrument). Also, the translation section for "conditions" doesn't reference any def I can figure... comments, anyone? Thanks, -- ArielGlenn 02:06, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Birdwatching verb sense: grammatical object
I note that the 1980 citation mentions "string[ing] a Skylark as a Richard's Pipit" (i.e. the real bird, the skylark, is being strung), while the 2005 citation mentions "trying to string a rarity" (i.e. the fake bird is the one being strung). This could justify subdividing into two senses. Equinox ◑ 17:39, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
