Err...

Doesn't the house on the RIGHT belong to Nedward Flanders?

Depends where you're standing. If you stand facing the road, then i thought it would be left, but if your facing the road, then right.--Sgtcook 16:08, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

added "rooms" section

added that section, please will someone contribute by creating and editing some of the pages? Ptsimpson 17:52, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

i don´t get it

why the hell did someone change STOREY, the correct form of the word, to STORY?! this is an english wikia, please if you don't know much about english go to Google and translate the word! unless STORY is used in some places, if so sorry, but I've only heard and read STOREY, already changed it Ptsimpson 08:40, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

Well, change it back then. And also English has many different forms. American, British etc. Words are spelt differently in each, such as "colour" and "color". ----- It's Magic - King cjc 09:51, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

I know that, I just never read or heard that way, in the books and sites i've read it only appears STOREY, and that was the way we were taught, but such differences like COLOUR and COLOR I know exist. Ptsimpson 13:32, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

The lingua franca (as it were) of Wikisimpsons is American English, in which "storey" (referring to a level of a building) is considered an archaic usage. The only place I remember seeing it is in the Little House on the Prairie books. Even as long ago as the 1940s, "story" has been used to refer to both an account you tell someone and a level of a building (as in the book The Four-Story Mistake, which was written in 1942).

If you look up "storey" on Wikipedia, it'll tell you that "storey" is UK usage and "story" is American usage.-- Mythigator 16:06, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

really? I never saw it written that way, put the word at your like, but an english wikia is for all the english speaking countries, like with "portuguese" wikias and wikipedias that are more of a brazillian pt but people from here and other places still don't mind it being in brazillian pt, and still can use the same page with both european and brazillian pt. Ptsimpson 17:00, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

We use American English instead of the proper English here due to The Simpsons being an American show. Yes, we have to use a screwed up language but, hey! :D SD 17:09, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

It's an American TV show, so the wiki's style is American English. If we were working on a wiki for, say, Red Dwarf or Primeval, I would fully expect UK English to be the standard and wouldn't have any problem with it. -- Mythigator 17:36, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

Burping room and 742 Evergreen Terrace attic

These locations could both be merged here with a section for each room of the house. There is no need for articles about each room of the house and they only need a section here. Solar Dragon ^{(Talk • Contribs.)} 02:21, 1 February 2012 (EST)

Please could someone contribute to this discussion else I, as the wiki head, will have to make the decision by myself, something I don't often like doing. The Solar Dragon ^{(Talk - Contribs.)} 09:10, 14 March 2012 (EDT)
