Talk:Eric and Eric

Speculation OK
If we read before we edit, we find that it's already clear that their "assigned" names are the product of speculation. Futhermore we can never state as fact what does or does not appear in literature, whether "contemporary" - what does that mean here, then (i.e. runestones in the days of Eric & Eric) or today? We can say what we know, and what we do not know, but not what exists. Reversing this as the wording is not up to par. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:03, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I have reworded tha last part about the names. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:07, 13 October 2016 (UTC)


 * That seems OK. And we actually know of them from a source who was contemporary with them - Adam of Bremen. I don't think any other interpretation of the word is reasonable.

 * You and I agree on that, but some people mean today or in our times, and I've never been able to come up with a good argument against that opinion, so I just have to respect it. It's one of the most confusing words we have in English, I think, so I just try to avoid it. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:50, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
