I don't really know what to do with this. The main talking point is the misspelling of Gl, it's apparently a 'prefix' but a prefix would be GI- or Gl-. Is it really a misspelling? Perhaps a misreading because of the similarity between the lowercase l and the uppercase I in some fonts. Erm, help. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:57, 24 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

It's separated from the number by a space, so it's not a prefix in the strictest sense, but it's always immediately in front of the number: "Gl 1234". As for the misspelling part: given that ls and Is are often scannos for each other, and that they tend to look the same in most non-serif fonts, it's pretty hard to tell what the relationship is between Gl and Gi in actual use. It would be more accurate to call it a "common error", but I don't know how we handle such things. Chuck Entz (talk) 14:32, 24 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Also G.I.. Do we want to split and initialism like this by etymology? In this case it would seem to be plausible, but in most cases, not. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:24, 24 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

@Mlgc1998 Would you say this Tagalog entry satisfies Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion? --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 00:59, 16 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

@Mlgc1998: This was an entry created almost 10 years ago, actually. The term is obviously only used within the Fil-Chi community, whether it should be English or Tagalog I think can be a source for discussion, even whether it should be in Wiktionary in the first place based on criteria of inclusion. --Mar vin kaiser (talk) 01:02, 16 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
