Preposition vs. abbreviation

[edit]

The use ofre as a preposition seems to me very uncommon, butre: andRe: abbreviations of course are everywhere. Should it be listed as an abbreviation separately? Also, as an abbreviation, it is something of an anomaly; it is neverre. instead onlyre: exists in the wild. What's the best way to describe that? --Connel MacKenzie 20:47, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

It's not an abbreviation. It is the Latin word rē with a colon afterwards.Shii01:35, 2 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Greek interjection

Greek interjections do not belong here. Greek interjections should be written in the Greek alphabet.Uncle G18:11, 5 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

re

Rfv-sense: reinsurance. This is in OED, but the only cites are the use of "Re" (with capital) in the names of publications or businesses. Can this be found in running text? If not I'd argue it isn't a word and/or should be moved toRe.This, that and the other (talk)08:03, 2 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

@This, that and the other: Agreed: "Re" is used in company names (as an abbreviation of "Reinsurance") but I've not heard it used in general speech to talk about reinsurance in lower case. People might talk about working in "re/insurance" or "(re)insurance" (to refer to reinsurance and/or insurance), but I don't talk about working in "re"; rather I work "in reinsurance" or "for a reinsurer". -Stelio (talk)20:30, 3 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Stelio thanks for your valuable insight! Do you think this usage is worth an entry atRe?This, that and the other (talk)05:52, 4 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
@This, that and the other: I think so, yes. It appears inmany company names, and also theFlood Re UK government initiative (again, only as a proper noun). I can imagine people wondering what it means and looking it up here. -Stelio (talk)20:36, 4 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
