			{{SALF}} does say ''Beavis'', which probably brought on the spelling in {{NDC}} and TSALF is also
			canonical, you'd think, so whaddyagonnado? I don't think it's reasonable to suppose they're different characters and there's already a redirect: I'd rather just mention the confusion in later
			works. TP has lost track of bits elsewhere, too, but this is a particularly twisty trail. --[[User:Old Dickens\|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens\|talk]]) 20:07, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

moved Talk:Gammer Beavis to Talk:Gammer Brevis: canonical name

New page

==Brevis or Beavis?==

Is that the correct name? My copy says ''Gammer Brevis'' --[[User:Rene|Rene]] 09:10, 9 September 2009 (UTC)?!

: My copy says Brevis. --[[Special:Contributions/83.255.38.110|83.255.38.110]] 18:58, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
: Dat wus me (moronic computer) [[User:Iron Hippo|Iron Hippo]] 19:04, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

And my Harper Torch, but we changed it from Brevis nearly three years ago when nobody could support that! What editions are you referring to? It sounds like another optional spelling. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 22:18, 9 September 2009 (UTC)<BR>
-It's '''Beavis''' in the{{NDC}}, but then he lists "Lettuce" Knibbs, too. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 00:06, 10 September 2009 (UTC)<BR>
-And Wikipedia lists {{wp|Witches_(Discworld)|Beavis}}. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 00:10, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
:Corgi paperback printed 1992 says Brevis [[User:Iron Hippo|Iron Hippo]] 04:51, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Slightly old discussion, but my copy of {{WA}} says "Brevis" as well. It's a HarperCollins paperback. (Well, it says "Harper, An Imprint of HarperCollins Publishers") [[User:TC01|TC01]] 03:46, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

So the canon seems to say "Brevis" and the ''Companion'' and WP say "Beavis". I don't suppose anyone has an original Gollancz? (I always suspected her first name was "Vita".) --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 04:21, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

No support for "Beavis" and Wikipedia has corrected their entry. The ''Companion'' entry seems to be a brain-cramp. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 00:07, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
