Really confusing examples

[edit]

The examples about the Ottomans and Egypt is really confusing and dated. It doesn't really clarify the point it should be more relatable. Eg. If the posted speed limit on a road is the De jure speed limit. But if everyone knows the cops don't patrol that street the De Facto speed limit is how fast our car can go. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.181.106.116 (talk) 13:38, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tone of article

[edit]

Decided to add tone maintenance flag as the lead paragraph feels very anecdotal/unencyclopaedic to me, someone more knowledgeable might be better versed to review this and then remove as appropriate The capcon (talk) 18:07, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Colloquial Example

[edit]

I know it's from a source, which makes it better, but the "colloquial example" sentence is awful. It's long, awkward, and confusing. How about, "I know it's a de jure broken escalator, but this de facto staircase is wearing me out."

"Nominally" and "de jure" overlap

[edit]

How much of an overlap would there be between "nominally" and "de jure", or could one (I assume maybe the latter) be considered a more specific subset of the other? — al-Shimoni (talk) 01:35, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
