Well, we did that poll on another thread regarding how we pronounce valet.

I propose we have a poll here on this thread regarding how many of us normally refer to one line of poetry as a verse. I'd never heard this distinction, even among English teachers I've known, till today.

So, I'll start the poll.

Verse = 1 line of poetry = yes, I speak this way.

Verse = 1 line of poetry = no, I never refer to single lines of poetry this way.


I'm a "no" (till today, that is--I do like precise speech when possible)

Beat regards,
