Tea room discussion

[edit]
Note: the below discussion was moved from the Wiktionary:Tea room.

"Alternative spellings: cosey, cosie, cozey, cozie, cozy (North America)". Are the first four real? They don't seem to be! Update: I'm marginally less sceptical now that I realise they might only be used for the noun (teapot cover) and not the adj, but only a little. Equinox 19:47, 22 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Just speculation, but they may also be archaic spellings. Michael Z. 2009-01-22 22:27 z
Sounds believable, but if so they should definitely be marked as such. Equinox 22:32, 22 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

French

[edit]

@Renard Migrant, Lmaltier, 2WR1 Could you review the French term, including whether the plurals are correct? The definition "correlation" is completely different from the corresponding definitions in frwikt. Benwing2 (talk) 19:01, 22 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

The definition is wrong, of course (frwikt definitions are the right ones), and the plural cosys is OK. Lmaltier (talk) 19:45, 22 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

"Social" in the first definition of "cozy"

[edit]

I can't find any proof that "social" has some relation to comfort and coziness. Is this a mistake or am I missing something? To me "social" sounds like the complete opposite of "cozy". Janlija (talk) 08:48, 28 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
