IPA[edit]

I agree with Kwami that there is no need to have two different pronunciations (or one for that matter) of an everyday word that no native English speaker would ever have a second of doubt about how to pronounce. Pronunciation guides are meant to be a help to show pronunciation of uncommon words not simply gratuitous information about completely regular dialect correpsondences between British and American English. ·Maunus·ƛ· 13:39, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Polish Hoe[edit]

In Eastern Ontario a lot of people seem to refer to a mattock as a Polish Hoe. There is a hit in Lee Valley Tools' catalogue illustrating something that looks like a mattock. I am unsure whether a polish hoe is a precise, distinct tool. I am considering adding some language to mattock to say "also sometimes referred to as polish hoe" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gbuchana (talk • contribs) 16:06, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
