Talk:First School War

Schools' is awkward
Is there any reason this is referred to as the Schools' War? It's an awkward way to phrase it, and it doesn't match the French or the Dutch. I think 'School War' or 'Schools War' would make more sense and sound less awkward. Thoughts?  Oreo Priest  talk 00:55, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
 * It's my translation - I agree it doesn't work brilliantly, but it is an attempt to match "scolaire" in the lack of a really equivalent adjective in English. However, I certainly wouldn't oppose a move to "School War" so long as the same is also applied to Second Schools' War and History of Belgium.Brigade Piron (talk) 06:16, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I think 'School War' is even a better translation of 'guerre scolaire'; here 'school' is an adjective. It's also a pretty close translation of Schoolstrijd, so there's that. I'm going to be bold and change all instances of it I can find. Cheers,  Oreo Priest  talk 14:08, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
