Talk:technical

      At the end of this entry, one can read the following text:

      →"[...]; as, the words of an indictment must be technical. --w:Blackstone."

      which was taken from ARTFL Project: Webster Dictionary, 1913. Is it a quotation from that Mr. Blackstone? If it is, it should be highlighted as an example of use. Piolinfax 09:04, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

      additional adj sense?

      I think this word can also mean "good at computers/technology", e.g. "Don't ask me about your computer, I'm not technical or anything." ---> Tooironic 13:48, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

      The following discussion has been moved from Wiktionary:Tea room.

      I think we're missing a definition here. When people say they are (or aren't) "mechanical" they don't mean they are made of mechanical parts, but that they are (or aren't) good with machinery, and similarly with "technical". I've been trying for a day or so and cannot come up with a decent way of phrasing a defintion, other than it should probably start with {{context|of a person}}. Thryduulf 23:49, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

      I've added that sense and some others to mechanical, and split the pre-existing sense into two. (I haven't touched technical.)​—msh210℠ 20:03, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
