Talk:Competence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] There is no such thing as COMPETANCE

The word is competence and www.onelook.com should convince one that every reputable English dictionary agrees. That is, except Wikipedia which links this wrong spelling to the right spelling. That seems incompetent.84.48.67.15 09:55, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] competences?

What is the reason for using the spelling "competences" instead of "competencies"? --richRich Janis 01:39, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

For anyone else who shares my former confusion, Naomhain provided the answer at Talk:European_Union, where I also posted the topic "competences?". -rich<Rich Janis 00:12, 11 July 2007 (UTC)>


This page cites a number of articles by two researchers who are not of eminent stature, as well as a Dutch language article. This entry seems to be constructed primarily for lending credibility to a largely Netherlands-specific theory on the importance of "competencies" in education and business. I suggest deletion of this entry.
