message: "Similarly to the function of an animacy hierarchy in a direct/inverse system the way that Proto Indo-European neuters were not originally regarded as possible verbal agents." -- First, this is a sentence fragment. Second, how is this relevant to direct vs. inverse? This statement doesn't say anything about there being an inverse construction in Proto-Indo-European, and as far as I know, no one has claimed it had one. 24.159.255.29 00:47, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Claude-Louis Navier

message: It would be helpful to have a pronunciation given. My physics prof in college pronounced it with a silent "r," but the typical rule in French would be to pronounce final "r"s except on infinitives of verbs. However, I know that this rule is frequently violated in the pronunciation of family names.--24.52.254.62 00:48, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The reason of your confusion is simple: the rule you stated about final r's is false. Indeed, in most French words ending with -er, even if you exclude infinitives,  the final r is silent, (although monosyllabic words ending in -er have their r pronounced.) However, the only infallible rule to know if the r is pronounced or not is to look in a good dictionary. --147.210.22.149 19:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:South San Francisco, California

message: I became curious about the question "where is downtown South San Francisco?", so I looked it up here.  The current article reads: "Grand Avenue, from Chestnut to Airport, is considered downtown South San Francisco, with various small shops and restaurants."  That didn't seem right to me based on a quick look at online maps, so I started researching.  What I ended up finding was City of South San Francisco Zoning District Map, which may be a little hard to describe in concise prose.  My guess from looking at the map (and other online maps) is that the part that looks like a typical "downtown" is on Grand between Spruce and Airport, and that the part between Spruce and Chestnut isn't a "downtown" as described in the Wikipedia Downtown article (synonymous with central business district).  Is someone more familiar with South San Francisco up for improving this section? -- RobLa (talk) 06:42, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Energy slave

message: Dear visionwriter, 
I enjoyed this entry, and am very interested in the topic - in fact, I'm currently working on a project on the relationship between energy and imperialism in the late 19th century.  I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind passing along a few references - economists, scientists, or theorists who talk about energy in these terms.  Web searches bring up discussions of how our civilization is enslaved by its addiction to energy, which is true, and interesting, but not quite the same thing as what you're discussing.    
Anyway, any help you could provide would be most appreciated.
Best wishes,

Talk:Gofio

message: There are several problems with the description given for gofio.  First, corn is a new world grain -- it did not exist in the Canary Islands until the Spaniards came back to these islands from the Americas; by then the Guanches were gone.  As for barley, wheat and oats, they are not tropical grains and would also not have existed during the time of the Guanches.  Once the Spaniards brought corn to the Canary Islands, the islanders used it to create gofio.  When the islanders settled the new world, they brought this back with them.  For the record, in the Canary Islands, gofio is only made from corn.  Mixed with sugar, gofio is a popular treat.  It is also used to thicken soups and stews, or mixed with milk or other beverages.  We stand to be corrected.68.81.142.139 01:49, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Burger? 

message: The article, as it is now, says "It's usually.. bla bla bla while other places, especially the United States, it's this kind of cheese." Readers have a right to know when and where it originated. 
It's a simple sandwich. One ground beef patty or two, with American or cheddar cheese and crispy butter-fried onions, all grilled on deli rye bread with caraway seeds in it. 
According to Chowhound:
(1) http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/292990
William "Tiny" Naylor is said to have originated the sandwich in his coffee shop in southern California after World War II. He opened the original Sunset and La Brea location, once a Los Angeles landmark, in 1949.

(3) http://books.google.com/books?id=uYiGA6QNE8sC&q=tiny%20naylors%20opened
The inception of the cheese singles on the sandwich can be pinpointed to 1949, when Kraft made the wartime military food from a Swiss scientist commercially available. It was truly a novel product, and instantly made a classic American sandwich.
(4) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraft_Singles
The Patty Melt came into being at Tiny Naylors the same year the landmark Toluca Lake location of Bob's Big Boy came into being, introducing the double decker with American cheese.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.214.39.128 (talk) 19:28, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

message: "The patty melt is a variant of the traditional American cheeseburger, taking the burger back to its sandwich inspired roots by serving it on sliced bread versus a bun.[1]"
A hamburger is a sandwich. Louis' Lunch, one of the first burger restaurants serves hamburgers on sliced bread. All reports of the first hamburgers mention the ise of bread.  Hamburgers and cheeseburgers are served quite commonly across the northeast on sliced bread.
Therefore the patty melt cannot be taking the hhamburgerb ack to its sandwich inspired roots. It's just a cheeseburger with sliced bread instead of a bun.
