Tea room discussion[edit]

Note: the below discussion was moved from the Wiktionary:Tea room.

Needs usage notes on when and how used. Also, I think some senses are missing, compare with German version. I would propose that even for entries like this, pronunciation information is given, be it saying it is not pronounced. H. (talk) 13:57, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But it is pronounced, just not the same way it is spelled. If I read the sentence "Copy pp. 32-35." I will say "Copy pages thirty-two to thirty-five." Saying that pp. is "not pronounced" would be incorrect. The pronunciation simply depends upon the meaning. We might want to use a standard template for the pronunciation section of abbreviations that explains this point simply. --EncycloPetey 02:01, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Usage[edit]

pp. precedes when citing a page range, e.g., pp. 32-35.
When giving a book's page count, does it precede or follow? pp. 210, or 210 pp.?
