  • Should the pronunciation be [lībz]? Or this could be a variant I haven't come across. --na08 (talk) 10:11, 10 March 2014 (CDT)
  • This page needs a good amount of work, in that there is currently no pronunciation information that follows the respelling guide. It currently says there are 2 forms, but it is not clear if those are supposed to be 2 different forms of the same pronunciation, or 2 different pronunciations. I am not sure if one is supposed to be pronounced as "lihbs" (rhymes with bibs) and the other "libs" (rhymes with vibes). This is also confusing, because I have heard people spell it "libs" but pronounce it so that it rhymes with vibes, so I'm not sure which pronunciation would go with which spelling, or if one spelling has more than one pronunciation. I think more field research needs to be done on this, and then the respelling needs to be updated for both forms, and pronunciation clips need to be added for both forms. Rita (talk)
  • This page also needs a usage section, which should talk about any differences in use between the different forms (for example, if one is used by a certain group of people or if one is used more often than the other). Rita (talk)
