Misspelling

edit

The misspelling of "herre" for "here" is valid, and popularized by a rapper by the name of Nelly. This is the edit in question:

  • Misspelling of here.
Hot in Herre was Nelly's greatest hit! However, he misspelled one word for some reason, though nobody is sure why.

See the video? The misspelling is so popular, it could be a valid sub-entry for this entry. --LUUSAP 21:46, 6 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

All it needs is three independent citations (i.e. at least two that are not mentions of Nelly's hit) spanning a period of more than a year. Conrad.Irwin 21:54, 6 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
I found 429 printed hits on "Herre," without Nelly, in English. Is this a strong enough case to include the misspelling? --LUUSAP 04:09, 12 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Supposed common misspelling of here. DCDuring TALK * Holiday Greetings! 23:05, 6 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

I personally have never seen this particularly variety of spelling anywhere. The use of the word in Nelly's Hot in Herre is most likely intentional given the nature of the song. I propose Delete. Jamesjiao 02:37, 7 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

RFV failed, ==English== section removed. Widsith, or anyone else, feel free to add the hair/higher senses (and any others that meet the CFI). —RuakhTALK 02:28, 11 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

A red grape used in some AOC wines. DTLHS (talk) 17:12, 17 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

The Vitis International Variety Catalogue lists herre as a synonym of two grapes: fer (more commonly called fer servadou in French) and verdot gros (more commonly called gros verdot). While this is merely a mention, it is a strong hint that the term has found actual use.  --Lambiam 22:41, 17 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
That said, I could find plenty of mentions in lists of synonyms, but not a single honest use.  --Lambiam 21:58, 18 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
Any use in French? DTLHS (talk) 22:21, 18 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
No; I‘ve searched in combination with raisin, cépage, and vin + [Béarn|Gaillac|Marcillac], but no luck.  --Lambiam 22:35, 18 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
