- Seems OK to me, e.g. 'What is your remit?'. Both m-w.com and dictionary.com kindof get at the same concept. --Connel MacKenzie T C 06:15, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
- Yes; standard UK usage (pronounced with a stressed long e, cf the verb which has an unstressed nondescript 1st vowel) Enginear 13:45, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
- Added quotes and (UK) pronunciation yesterday. I'm not sure of the US pronunciation of the verb. If it is ɹ invalid IPA characters ([])ɪ invalid IPA characters ([])ˈ invalid IPA characters ([])m invalid IPA characters ([])ɪ invalid IPA characters ([])t invalid IPA characters ([]), rather than ɹ invalid IPA characters ([])ə invalid IPA characters ([])ˈ invalid IPA characters ([])m invalid IPA characters ([])ɪ invalid IPA characters ([])t invalid IPA characters ([]), as I have, by all means change it -- many British dictionaries show that as British RP too, though I've never heard it. A rather subtle difference anyway for an unstressed syllable.
- I have just marked the noun sense (Chiefly British) - I can't find it defined in this way in any US online dics and I realised that my only apparently non-European quote (from Cisco Systems) was actually produced, for use in UK, by their UK education manager, who has a Scottish origin name. --Enginear 00:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
