Is there a word for the subject(s) of 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. (])

  • Delete. These are dictionary entries, unles something more can be made of them. --Pete Richardson 09:08, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. It's an interesting topic. I added some my random thought to see if it has a potential to survive. -- Taku 09:20, Mar 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep Comparison, Delete the rest. Comparison is a significant (if small) computer science topic that most new programmers need beaten into them. Article needs a section on the issues involved in comparing floating point values though. -- Cyrius 13:51, Mar 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Comparison is a good article. Delete the rest. — Sverdrup 13:54, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • I have expanded comparison with notes on grammar; it's no longer a stub, definitely keep. Disambiguations might be good for a number of these, like deformity, which might want to refer people to, say teratology or birth defect. It may take some brainstorming to figure out all the places that might profitably be disambiguated here; but eventually, useful lists might be added. Smerdis of Tlön 15:07, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Terminology of Comparison

Is there a word for the subject(s) of 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.
