Clarity
This sentence is unclear:
- "The result is a false impression that the rule of tincture has been violated in cases where argent, applied next to a dark colour, now appears to be sable next to a dark colour from tarnishing."
I am not a specialist in Heraldry, or in color-study. However, I think the meaning would be clearer if it read this way instead:
- "The result is a false impression that the rule of tincture has been violated in cases where when applied next to a dark colour, argent now appears to be sable due to tarnish."
I am going to make that edit and if someone disagrees, please change it. --CopperJet (talk) 18:31, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
Argentina
Since argent is the romance languages word for silver, is it possible that Argentina may have been named because of silver?

- Yes indeed. The estuary dividing Argentina from Uruguay is the Rio de la Plata, River of Silver. —Tamfang 18:00, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
