Talk:tide

Should red tide be on the list of derived terms? I would think so, though it's a bit extended from the basic sense. --dmh 07:42, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

The extension of meaning is part of what makes it interesting. In any event, we should have it. Thanks. DCDuring TALK 13:57, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

The twelve hour period is here attributed to the mining industry. Shereidan Muspratt (ca.1859) draws attention to its use in the malting trade: vol.1, p.237, col.2. {RJPe 16:36, 10 January 2011 (UTC)}
