Talk:Pince-nez

Use in early air combat

Suggest removal entirely. This section appears to have virtually nothing to do with the article's subject. It seems to have been contributed by a fan of a particular German pilot rather than an authority on eyeglasses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.147.139.206 (talk) 07:02, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Roosevelt image

I understand why the picture is displayed but would it not make more sense to have a colour photo of someone wearing a pair at the top of the page so you get a clear picture of what pince-nez glasses are? The B&W image does help much in my opinion - but then maybe I'm in need of spectacles? (Aug 2010)

Image links here should be moved into Wikipedia and displayed. I would do this myself if not for the copyright issues. Hairy Dude 15:37, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

I believe the name of the Indian trip is Nez Perce

References

Basically, this article cites no sources apart from Dictionary.com for its pronunciation. There were once some sources, cited as in-text web links, which had gone dead and were removed. I tried to find some sources on Pince Nez, but had little luck, and what little I did find conflicted with a lot of the material already in the article. I'm really not sure where to go with this, and I don't want to go and rewrite the whole thing without significant and reliable sources. Mendaliv (talk) 20:29, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Question

What is the plural of pince-nez? Jackiespeel (talk) 11:12, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

From http://www.learn-french-help.com/french-plural-nouns.html

French nouns add -S to form their plural. Here are their exceptions Plural nouns ending -S, -X, -Z don’t changed

Le tas = les tas – heap

La croix = les croix – cross

Le nez = les nez – nose

So many pince-nez would be pince-nez. Although pince-nezes (pronounced American as 'pince-nezzes') is strangely appealing! (;
