Talk:Legionaire

I'm all for more context: shouldn't this be a section of Roman legion? "You can't have one without the other" Then the reader can better visualize the legions. --Wetman 01:17, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Proper English?

 * Term for a member of a foreign legion. Sometimes incorrectly used of members of a Roman legion, for whom the correct term is a legionary.

Is this true? After looking up "legionary" and "legionnaire" in both Merriam-Webster's Dictionary and The American Heritage Dictionary, I find they both claim that either word is acceptable in English for describing a soldier in an ancient Roman legion. &mdash;Gabbe 21:41, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
