I have reverted some of your recent edits to RN subjects which referred to shoulder boards. I suggest that you read the relevant BR. - David Biddulph (talk) 16:20, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

@David Biddulph: And that is a reference for the term 'shoulder board'? The term 'shoulder board' appears in the document nowhere but it does introduce a new term 'shoulder rank board'. I'm sorry but the term 'shoulder board' or any variation thereof is US English. The British English term is 'epaulette' and is what they were called when I was imvolved with the armed services (admittedly a good many years ago now).

Creeping Americanisation of the English language must be resisted. 86.145.215.191 (talk) 16:28, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

You'd better read the document again (or use the search facility). The term "shoulder board" is used 4 times in the document. - David Biddulph (talk) 16:31, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Regardless: that they use the term and your claim that that document is somehow an authority on the English language is WP:SYNTHESIS because nowhere does it make that claim. 86.145.215.191 (talk) 16:34, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
