Libraries
[edit]It may seem stupid to mention the space between library shelves, but two librarians didn't know and every floor plan I found on the Internet didn't name that space. I had to talk with the Architect for the Dallas Public Library System to get the answer.

Supermarket aisles
[edit]"Supermarket aisles rarely are wide enough for 3 people to stand side-by-side. " Surely that's in America only? -Mikay 19:36, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- I can't imagine what this remark was meant to convey. Supermarket aisles, most everywhere I should imagine, are usually at least wide enough for two supermarket trolleys to pass, and as a trolley is wider than a person that would generally allow 3-4 people to stand across an aisle. This estimate is already included in the first bullet, which says "shops". I don't see any reason to make a special case for supermarkets, especially one that seems to questionable. I've removed this. Mooncow (talk) 05:32, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Aisle and gangway are not the same
[edit]The first sentence claims that "gangway" is the British English term for aisle. This is not true. In Britain, planes, churches, and supermarkets always have aisles, not gangways. Gangway I believe is a nautical term only. Opinions? 213.205.197.2 (talk) 17:51, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
Ridiculously vague beginning definition of aisle
[edit]"An aisle is, in general, a space for walking with rows (of what?!) of non-walking spaces (so like, a river?! what is a non walking space? Is this architectural jargon?) on both sides (so an aisle next to a wall doesn't count?)" I make this questions earnestly, trying to understand what an aisle is, as a non native speaker, and being put off to read this article by this unclear sentence.
