"Weakened"

Latest comment: 7 years ago5 comments3 people in discussion

It seems clear to me that the "clarification needed" tag added in this edit by Wolfdog was about the word "weakened", which is phonetically vague. As in this edit summary, it is probably best for it to be next to the same statement in the body of the article rather than in the intro. — Eru·tuon 19:45, 26 June 2017 (UTC)Reply

I'm more interested in getting to the bottom of what in the world the phrase means. The full phrase is written as "weakened but still universally present". Wolfdog (talk) 00:04, 27 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Erutuon: Can you explain what the sentence means?, because I too may be having difficulty understanding it.LakeKayak (talk) 22:18, 27 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
@LakeKayak: Do you mean the sentence about /r/ being weakened? I'm not sure what it means exactly. — Eru·tuon 22:44, 27 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
I did mean that sentence. And for that reason, it seems the clarification needed tag was instated in the lead, because the sentence that needed to be clarified was in the lead.LakeKayak (talk) 22:47, 27 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
