Pierced-ear Earrings

Does this really belong? I don't think there are any kinds of earrings besides pierced-ear ones, and I've never heard the phrase 'pierced earrings' at all.

Add examples - e.g. February?

More examples would be helpful. E.g. would February, pronounced as Febry, qualify as haplological? --Singkong2005 talk 03:33, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree – more examples would be beneficial to the article. I will add some today. As for "February", the omission of the first "r" from it is a different phenomenon from haplology. I forget the exact name of it, but it was discussed on a radio program I tuned into last week. --GentlemanGhost (talk) 19:12, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed Dutch example

The Dutch example (kunststof -> kunstof) was not haplology, as only part of a syllable (or two) is removed (kunst-stof -> kun-stof / kuns-tof). Jalwikip 14:10, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
