5th and 13th[edit]

It it perhaps archaic or obsolete? Anyway, usage notes go under ====Usage notes====. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:30, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
- I couldn't find this anywhere, so took an executive decision and simply replaced it with the more familiar obsolete sense. Ƿidsiþ 10:12, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
Missing software development sense?[edit]
Something like a release? See e.g. [2]: "We have released a new flight with build number 14393. If you discover any new issue, please report it using the feedback app." Might just be Microsoft jargon. Equinox ◑ 22:12, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
flight of stairs[edit]
When there is a half-landing, does a flight of stairs refer to each of the successions of steps between a floor/landing and the half-landing, to the whole bit from one floor to another including the half-lading, or can it refer to either? In other words, is there in such a case a single flight of stairs between the floors, are there two, or does it depend on the speaker's preference of interpreting the phrase? --Droigheann (talk) 10:51, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
