Notes (2008)
Are you sure "Vicount" is the correct canonical spelling? The word is generally correctly spelled "Viscount" (or Viscountess), but if it's that way in the source canon then I guess we should leave it be. Ataniell93 21:57, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- The source of this particular bit of Canon is GURPS Traveller: Nobles. Checking the source page (pg 16) it says: You are correct. The spelling should be Viscount. I'll fix the article. Thanks Tjoneslo 00:33, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Notes (2016)
The correct spelling is Viscount, but it is pronounced "VĪ-kount". It derives from Latin "Vice-comes" (= "Vice-count") via French "Viscomte" (pronounced "Vee-KONT").
