| Is there a word for the subject(s) of a comparison - things being subjected to a comparison? This article seems to use 'object', dictionaries tend to use the word 'thing'; but it seems to make sense to be able to talk about the "comparatees", being identified solely as subject(s) of a comparison, regardless of just what they are. I was thinking of the word 'criterion', but that tends to represent a standard against which things are measured. 'comparable' is good, but it is an adjective, not a noun. (]) | |||

| This article, despite not being about English grammar in particular, goes on and on about how comparison is expressed in English. This is not appropriate for an article that, by its name, should probably be dealing with comparison on a much more general scale. Including examples from grammar is a good idea, but as many languages express comparison differently, the section should be globalised to include examples from other languages (and preferably not just European ones).] 00:39, 28 February 2007 (UTC) | |||
