Talk:western world

USSR
hehe, USSR. Well, I guess 80's retro is the popular thing now.

Granted, I don't know of a good way to define this phrase. --Eean 08:11, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Not a proper noun?
There is a link to a discussion in the Tea Room, but it is effectively broken.

What is the story? Why isn't this word a proper noun (Western World)? --Mortense (talk) 20:07, 30 May 2015 (UTC)


 * ✅. "Uncountable" was wrong too. Equinox ◑ 20:08, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
 * What about the spelling, then? Aren't most proper nouns capitalised? --Mortense (talk) 20:14, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Many aren't. This spelling is well attested. Equinox ◑ 20:15, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Redirect
Under "Alternative forms" there is "Western world", but it redirects to the page here. Shouldn't it have its own page, as most other "Alternative forms" words (e.g. like webpage)? --Mortense (talk) 19:15, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
