Mountaintop vs. Mountain Top

edit

The United States Postal Service uses the spelling Mountain Top for ZIP Code 18707. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 03:25, 9 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

It's always baffled me which spelling is correct. As stated above, the USPS uses Mountain Top. However, I believe there are highway signs in the area that use Mountaintop. Is there any way to determine which is "correct"? Fazul 01:17, 21 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Drivers Lisence

edit

Penn DOT uses Mountain Top on drivers lisences and there is a Historical Marker in Mountain Top that reads "Mountain Top" so I would say it should be 2 words as the historical marker reads.

Reason for edit

edit

I edited part of the section regarding "Mountain Top" vs. "Mountaintop" because it was partly superfluous (the part about metaplasmus) and partly unsupported ("it's a well known fact that..."). It was also teetering on the brink of NPOV. The remaining text is enough to support the point. As there is some genuine debate on the issue (though I think it's clear that the correct name is "Mountain Top"), I also altered the opening line slightly. Brad E.

Keeping the Mountaintop/Mountain Top in article is part of the heritage and with limited additions to this it should stay. Correctly, going to the historical society of Mountaintop one word usage is correct. I think out of area influences over time with the USPS and PennDot have made the two word name change. --Neoursa (talk) 10:17, 2 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Community and Events

edit

I'd like to see some addition to events taking place within the community (other than weather news) such as the annual picnics and fireworks displays etc. --Neoursa (talk) 10:17, 2 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
