Consistency with Plough

The article Plough is titled with the British English spelling. One way or another shouldn't the titular spelling of that article and this be made consistent? SCRA5071 23:47, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Did ploughs exist at the time of the Bible?

I would like the article to determine if this is a myth or the truth. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.24.29.51 (talk) 10:19, 22 March 2007 (UTC).

See plough for the history. Certainly ploughshares must have existed, or they wouldn't have been referred to in the (very well-known) quotes cited.

Also, from plough, is this:

The mouldboard, carried below the frame, is tipped with a share (also called a ploughshare), an asymmetric arrow-shaped device designed to slice through the ground horizontally as it moves forward.

which makes a great deal more sense of the quote, a sword being a similar shape to an arrow head!

Please, just pick one

It doesn't matter if it is "plow" or "plough" just pick one and stay consistent. And please, stop with the "plowing(ploughing)" business--it makes the article unpleasant if not impossible to read. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.111.89.79 (talk) 16:46, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
