I don't know the factuality of the statement in the introductory paragraph regarding Social Psychology, but as Lewis is cited, I think he would disagree (as would, I believe Tolkein who was a philologist.) I wonder if this is not incorrect. Lewis made a distinction of the greek word philios (φίλος) for what the article says Social Psychology defines as Storge. I ask without having read the cited article. Thistledowne (talk) 14:57, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Should this not be "Strong's Greek" google-fu nets me nothing for "Strong's Greikle" Thistledowne (talk) 14:57, 14 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe I am able to change the name of this article, but would suggest using simply Storge instead of Storgē, the latter being more of a pronunciation.

I think the merger is a good idea if all love styles are moved into this article. In their current short forms I do not think they warrant an individual article each. If the individual love type articles were larger I would not recommend this merger. Hobo 03:22, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Love, and types of love should be posted in the same article, however editing should be consider in order to avoid redundancy.

The first line gives the IPA pronunciation /ˈstɔrdʒiː/ and the other a homophone based one (store-gae). The two differ. Okay, IPA is not taught at schools etc., but I found it very easy —and constructive— to pick up, especially with the underline hint thing. So I do not see the need for a second pronunciation. Furthermore, "Gae" is not a normal word and the IPA gives it as a "jeep" without the p, not "gay".

However, the IPA isn't fault free: that r is most likely non-rhotic in English —the r in "store" makes the o longer and isn't pronounced. --122.61.109.30 (talk) 03:27, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The spelling gae was a confusing and misleading attempt to explain the Ancient Greek pronunciation, which is completely unnecessary and irrelevant here. And when you click on the IPA, it takes you to

Help:IPA_for_English, which explains why WP always shows rhotic pronunciation. --Espoo (talk) 20:46, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply
