Add topic'I hears'
[edit]First I have seen these words together in phrase "The fat lady. I hears her" in an illustration in the article It's official: Toshiba announces HD DVD surrender. It was so strange for me that I checked usage of using the form 'hears' in the first person singular simple using Google [1]. There are many cases of it and it seems that the examples are not only from non-native speakers of English. Is it a common wrong or alternative usage of the word? --Pabouk 10:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
To hear
[edit]When a person says "I've not heard anything about incident X" this often also means he's not read about it anywhere. Should this definition be included? Gambler Justice 10:00, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
Should hear it said be added? --Backinstadiums (talk) 19:50, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
cognate ouïr?
[edit]It seems unlikely that French ouïr would not be a cognate of hear. Is there any supporting evidence? BrockLobster (talk) 20:28, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
