[edit] Rename to "time-out (sport)"
Actually, I think this page should be moved to time-out (sport), because:
- It allows editors to use the implicit piping of
[[time-out (sport)|]]with an empty pipe resolving to the title without the parenthetical content -- rather than having to type[[sport time-out|time-out]] - It is the standard Wikipedia naming scheme, in part because of the above point, and this easier to remember

Maybe "sport" should be plural as in, "A time-out in sports...". I not that big of a sports fan, but I thought that might help.--Blackmage337 20:31, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Times-out or time-outs?
I have always said (and written) it as time-outs, but some people insist on saying times-out, which bugs the heck out of me, though I'm not sure it's incorrect. Does anyone know what the official way to pluralize it is? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.12.57.237 (talk) 23:07, 5 May 2007 (UTC).
- The normal way to pluralize it is time-outs, but it probably should be times-out. If you take multiple of one time-out, you are spending many times during the game out of it. See, for example, brother-in-law. If you have more than one, you multiple brothers--but wait! They're actually brothers-in-law. However, I'm thinking that time-out is inherently more colloquial, and eventually everyone will say time-outs. I say time-outs as well, because I didn't realize until just now that it isn't really right. --M1ss1ontomars2k4 03:51, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
