User talk:It's-is-not-a-genitive

Perfect sanity

Your spiel about your disdain for perfect sanity struck a chord with me, I was (am?) just interested to know where the quote fitting in[to]' a monochrome world, settling down, culling mad dreams was from, or was it entirely self-coined?

Thanks.

translation

Hi, this is not a genitive,
You seem motivated by this new topic !
I can suggest you another translation from a shorter but I think better article : fr:massacre de Qibya.
The only matter is that it already exists but the one here has two POV tages while the former one is also a featured article.

Your name gives joy!

I have a strong emotional connection to the apostrophe, as it was deemed illegal in my childhood. I have no reason to like Lynn Truss personally, but respect her work. Do you know of an apostrophe protection league? I would like to join in the tippexing. BrainyBabe 21:05, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Interesting page

You're obviously a very busy Wikipedian. You have an amazing page. I lived in Croatia for a bit so I read a bit about the Slavic swear words. The changes in swear words between the languages belonging to the people of the former Yugoslavia can be small, but so many different ways to curse. It's just wonderful. And if I'm in Iran any time soon, I'll know when the train from Damascus will be :) Wikitoddia 08:07, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

English in the Caribbean

I'm a month late to the party, but I noticed that you said a month ago in the Language Reference Desk that English is the sole official language of "basically the entire Caribbean." Actually, only about one-fourth of the Caribbean population lives in English-speaking countries. Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, the Caribbean islands of Venezuela, the French islands and Aruba/Bonaire/Curacao do not have English as an official language, and except for the Dutch trio mentioned, most of the people in those places do not speak it. (The other Dutch islands of Saba, St. Eustatius and Sint Maartin do speak English semi-officially.) Puerto Rico is officially bilingual (being a U.S. territory), but most of its population actually consists of monolingual Spanish speakers. There are a number of officially English-speaking countries in the Caribbean, but most have tiny populations and even then, English is not necessarily the only language spoken on them; the French-based Antillean Creole is spoken on several, often as a native tongue.

Qibya massacre

Hi It's is not a genitive,
I come back to you :-)
Last time I asked you if you would agree to replace Qibya massacre by a translation of fr:massacre de Qibya.
What would you think about acting a (slightly) different way : would you mind translating this on a personal work page and then ask on the article talk page what version they would chose ?
We could also merge the information from the wp:en version in the other one but I think it is already the case...
Thank you !

I need some help translating this from French to English

I saw that you are a translator on the French Translation page... I need some help translating the following letter into English. It was written by General Pulaski, while traveling to find food for the starving soldiers at Valley Forge. I know it's an inconvenience to ask you to do this, but I would very much appreciate it. If you don't have time though, I understand. Thanks.

Translation no longer necessary...

I'm just writing to tell you that I no longer need the translation. As a precaution, I asked several people listed on the French translation page to help me with the letter. Today I checked, and several people have sent me the translations or are in the process of translating them. I've been trying for several weeks to find a translator (first on myspace, which was hardly any help at all, then on wikipedia, which I must say has been more helpful). I hope in the future you would still be willing to help with translations. There are several letters from Lafayette that I cannot understand. But it may be some time before I need them.

Thanks again.

ps I was watching C-SPAN today, and was quite surprised to learn that after all these years, Pulaski may be made an honorary citizen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rochlafayette (talk • contribs) 00:20, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Cool... thanks

Thanks for offering to translate letters in the future. I'm glad to know there is someone I can turn to.

Don't worry, I don't expect people to respond quickly. I know it takes time to translate, and people have other things to do. I just tried to contact as many people as I could the other day because I wasn't sure who would respond and who wouldn't. I'm glad you're interested in helping.

Thanks. Rochlafayette (talk) 03:25, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Chatelainecover1.jpg

• Hi It's-is-not-a-genitive. “Chechen language” article claims that ‹Ẋ› is used to represent /ʜ/ (Voiceless epiglottal fricative), while “Ẋ” article claims that it represents [ħ] (Voiceless pharyngeal fricative). Which one might be mistaken? --Mahmudmasri (talk) 20:05, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Translation of 95 year old philosophy.

Greetings,

I am trying to get a team together who would finally translate "Sistema di logica come teoria del conoscere" into English. I thought Wikipedia's list of Italian-to-English translators might be a good group to 'hit up' on this subject. If personal assistance cannot be provided, perhaps suggestions or helping point me in the right direction of who might be willing to help? Best regards & thank you.
