Fencing

 * Hi there. I think you are confusing English and French sections here. It is made more confusing by the use of French terms by fencers in English-speaking countries. My understanding is that a fencer calls to acknowledge that he has been hit, but the referee calls . I don't think anyone uses the infinitive . SemperBlotto (talk) 15:05, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
 * You are correct. The fencer says touché "(I am) touched"; and the referee says touche "(a) touch."
 * I don't, however, understand your edit. touché and touche are different tenses, they're not "alternative spellings".
