In English? There isn't a Wikipedia article, although you included the template for it. I briefly searched Google Books for "the couvert" and only found a very few results with "couvert" in italics, showing that it was a French word. Equinox ◑ 19:57, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
- I've heard it used before on like Facebook invites and websites by entities who I doubt know French but who may prefer to inform people in an ostensibly classy way that they're charging money. I didn't do a good job putting in the actual entry nor did I even complete it; I was just trying to contribute to and expand Wiktionary. To confirm it was an English word I googled it and got an English definition with English pronunciation. And Merriam-Webster has it too: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/couvert. Both sources say it is a synonym of "cover charge."
- Also, when I googled "couvert" I got this Wikipedia entry in the search results (but different on the actual page):
- "The couvert or cover charge has been levied for many years, certainly in English-speaking countries by 1899. The concept, and term, was later used in the US in ..." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover_charge)
- The Wikipedia article does mention "couvert" extensively. 63.84.193.164 16:27, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
Done Thanks. I found three citations (although one's in italics) and have reinstated the English section. Equinox ◑ 18:08, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
