- Now is it okay? Please check my grammar though. --kc_kennylau (talk) 16:18, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
- As long as what was in the etymology section did not need to be moved to the definition section. --WikiTiki89 16:28, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
- I found that taken aback also has a definition as etymology, and I've fixed that. I'm trying to look at the user's other edits. --kc_kennylau (talk) 16:31, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
- It turns out that SemperBlotto (talk • contribs) is the one who put the definition-like etymology in the first place in take aback. What a surprise. --kc_kennylau (talk) 16:39, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
- Well that was back in 2005 when Wiktionary was a little baby. I'm more surprised that no one had noticed it until now. --WikiTiki89 16:44, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
