A Hawk from a Handsaw[edit]

Re: edit by 2600:8800:FF0E:300:FD3F:2233:F632:F17F - I don't get it.. the added text is that "There is no such thing as north-by-northwest on the compass, and thus, just as such a direction is a fiction, so to is Hamlet's faked insanity." But in the comment it says "Northwest by North is a real direction" which contradicts that. And in any event, the term 'north-by-northwest' or 'Northwest by North' isn't even in the quote. So what is the intention? LizardJr8 (talk) 22:29, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see you just prefer to revert than discuss, so I'll leave it. Regrettably unsourced and unexplained for those without doctorates in Shakespeare. LizardJr8 (talk) 02:30, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They posted their responses as edit summaries. This part confused me too. North-(by-)northwest is definitely a real direction, it's 337.5°, halfway between north (0°) and northwest (315°), just as west-northwest (292.5°) is halfway between northwest (315°) and west (270°). 173.18.56.34 (talk) 05:02, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, except for one minor nitpick : I don't think that "North by Northwest" is a real compass point by modern naming conventions[1]. The "By" is used only for even more fine divisions of the compass. but that's ok. Hamlet didn't say that. He said "North-Northwest", which is totally a real compass point.
