Nov 29, 2012 at 17:39 comment added Chip Bennett @JohannesPille to the contrary: that is one of the criteria. If you change the context to some other platform, and the answer remains the same, then the question is not specific to WordPress, and therefore inherently off-topic for WPSE.
Nov 29, 2012 at 17:18 comment added Johannes Pille @Chip If you were to do that substitution it would be off-topic, but that goes for any question on WPSE. "How to add taxonomies to Drupal" is just as off-topic and you wouldn't argue that hence "How to add taxonomies to WP" is outside the scope, because "WP" can be substituted by "Drupal". That being said, why not enlighten us with your opinion on the matter? The question is here, it will stay and it will remain the one and only English Language question on this stack. So, why refrain from it? I'd be interested in your take, for instance.
Nov 29, 2012 at 14:53 comment added Chip Bennett Substitute Drupal or vBulletin for WordPress; do you still see this question as being WordPress-specific?
Nov 29, 2012 at 14:14 comment added fuxia I see this as an edge case, like licensing questions: it could be answered without special WordPress knowledge, but it is about WordPress too.
Nov 29, 2012 at 13:43 comment added Chip Bennett Actually, I disagree with @toscho's answer, but as I believe the question is not a good fit for WPSE, and explaining my disagreement would only exacerbate that problem, I'm refraining from doing so.
Nov 29, 2012 at 13:42 comment added brasofilo @ChipBennett, what do you make of toscho's answer? It seems quite precise... Do you think it's possible to adapt the question? Anyway, yes, I agree fully that, as-written, it solicits opinion, etc, and should be closed for that.
Nov 29, 2012 at 13:26 comment added Chip Bennett @brasofilo that still doesn't make this question in scope for WPSE. Not only is it not in scope, but as-written, it solicits opinion, debate, and extended discussion, rather than precise answers based on specific expertise.

Nov 29, 2012 at 13:15 comment added brasofilo @ChipBennett - as StoneyB puts in his answer to Johannes (a replica of this one, but in a linguistic context), we, as citizens of WordPress have a vote on how we use the word. Over there, they can give the Norm and alert that the Usage has a life of its own and has to be discussed within the users' community.
Nov 29, 2012 at 13:07 comment added Chip Bennett Isn't there an English Grammar StackExchange that would be more appropriate for this question?

Nov 29, 2012 at 2:05 comment added Stephen Harris The apostrophe after the s would denote ownership. It would either be (singular) WordPress's or (plural) WordPresses'.
