Stub

edit

This is not a speedy delete candidate, it's a stub article describing a real thing and it is meaningful. 64.200.124.189 21:41, 30 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Distinction between "backyard" and "back yard"

edit

"Backyard" should be used as the adjectival form, as in "backyard barbecue." "Back yard," and not "backyard," should be the nominal form. Justification: We don't say "frontyard." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lestrad (talkcontribs) 07:55, 7 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

Proposed merge

edit

I have proposed that Back garden be merged into this article (which should shortly be moved to Back yard for consistency). The content there is far superior and should, for the most part, replace the content here with the addition of some regional differences in naming conventions as appears at Front yard (which was collaboratively improved last year and Front garden rightly redirects there). The use of "garden" instead of "yard" is almost entirely British and while that should be acknowledged, we shouldn't have both given each is actually about the same thing just with a different name.
