Talk:Harkers Island, North Carolina

Dialect?
"Separated from the mainland for centuries, many Harkers Island residents speak a distinct dialect of English."

Seriously? Maybe someone would like to cite and elaborate. I've lived 8 miles from the Island for the last 5 years. They speak the same English that the rest of North Carolina speaks. No voodoo or witchery here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.48.206.158 (talk) 08:18, 14 September 2013 (UTC)

Battle of Beaufort Reference in History Section
The article references the "Battle of Beaufort...the nearby county seat" in NC. Instead of a link to the likely nonexistant page of a very small battle in Beaufort, NC, there is instead a link to the Battle of Beaufort, SC.

This is Beaufort, NC (pronounced "boh-fert"). That is Beaufort, SC (pronounced "beau-fort"). In SC, it's a French spelling pronounced in a French way. Here in eastern NC, it's a French word pronounced in an English way. Go to either one and pronounce it the wrong way, you get a weird look.

Whoever wrote this needs to de-link that immediately, as these are two completely different battles in different states--the only similarities being the similar spellings of the towns and the state names. If someone had actually pronounced the name of each correctly and/or read the articles, this would immediately click. Ryne the Wolf (talk) 18:28, 26 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Done. You are right, of course. I didn't write the content, but I have corrected it to "Battle of Beaufort, North Carolina" and delinked ""Battle of Beaufort". Thanks for the heads up. Carlstak (talk) 17:11, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
