Talk:scrap

Spanish

"chatarra" in spanish, not easy to edit..., me not so good with the code.

another context?

What does scrap mean in that context? "We will clear your car tonight of all the accumulated snow. Just let me know where your car is parked, and if you just want the snow brushed off, or also the windshield scraped (some people are picky about that)."

scrap and scrape

Scrap and scrape are related, given their derivation, though their meanings have mostly diverged. Shouldn't there be "see-also" entries linking them? (Wikipedia has a see-also, but only from Scrape [disambiguation] to Scrap.)

(Strip and stripe might have a similar relationship. In think Germans tend to treat them as the same word.)

I'd add them, but Wiktionary has too few written rules, explanations, or examples, too many unwritten rules as to whether it is "valid" and exactly how to do it, and so many curt enforcers; it would surely be reverted (rather than repaired) after 14 minutes, so what's the point. - A876 (talk) 23:39, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

Use in computing

In older versions of Windows (introduced in Win95, I think) a scrap was a fragment of a document saved into a file, e.g. by dragging a paragraph of text directly from the editor onto the desktop. Equinox ◑ 17:49, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
