Typo?

Is the misspelling of "extremely" a typo or sic?--Thiseye 00:20, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sic. Haven't put in Sic because 17th century spelling is notoriously variable, and I didn't think Sic was necessary. Tomcool 22:34, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On the Pittsburg page, is:

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, whose official "federal" spelling of its city name was "Pittsburg" from 1891 to 1911.

Is 1891 accurate? Why is it not repeated in other articles?

Thank You.

According to Name of Pittsburgh, 1891 to 1911 is accurate for an official spelling. Spelling of the city's name (and most everything else) in the 18th and 19th centuries was variable. I myself haven't paid the issue much attention. There are those who do, though. If you want to further check into it, you could look up the main contributors to the Name of Pittsburgh article.

"descended the Allegheny"

what does the text "descended the Allegheny" mean? did they travel downstream until its terminus, or just travel along it? was it I'm not sure if I can make a suggestion for an alternative, which is why I ask here. also "by summer" to me suggests a gradual movement, not a single expedition Pudowski 00:36, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That expedition got as far as the Venango area, where some spent the winter, and then built Ft. Machault the next summer. The rest returned to Montreal. I'll try to reword it so it's clearer. Tomcool 14:00, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
