Talk:The Boy From...

message: It seems to me that Esteban Rìo Nido is not a Spanish translation of Stephen Sondheim from German (no matter what the reference given says - and if it did say it before, it doesn't now). This should be removed from the article if incorrect.Bkesselman (talk) 21:58, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Spelling 

message: The spelling "Tacarimba La Tumba Del Fuego Santa Maliga Sacategas Lo Onto Del Sol Y Cruz" is the one stated in the lyrics in the vocal score of Side By Side By Sondheim (available for rental only). This version of the song, however, misspells Llanfair PG (presumably to approximate the pronunciation), and has the lyric "...today's the last I'll be spreading" rather than "spending". It would seem, therefore, that this source cannot be considered canonical. This rendering of the place name does accord with Millicent Martin's recording on the Side By Side By Sondheim cast album, however.
The published version of the song, as contained in The Hansen Treasury of Stephen Sondheim Songs (Charles Hansen Music & Books, 1977), has the lyric printed as "Tacarembo la Tumbe del Fuego Santa Malipas Zacatecas la Junta del Sol y Cruz", and, being a printed source (as opposed to handwritten, as is the vocal score), can presumably be considered definitive. Linda Lavin's pronunciation on the original cast recording of The Mad Show (for which the song was written) follows this spelling, which would suggest that the printed version is correct.
As it is a fictional place name, however, any discussion of "correct" spelling/pronunciation is an academic one, at best.

thread_title:  Argument in favour of the "other" spelling 

message: Cruz, pronounced as "cruth", is an example of distinction between z and s.
If the word was pronounced "crus", it would be an example of seseo.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.41.238.231 (talk) 01:40, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It's a subtle point, but I don't think the song is reflecting an authentic old Spanish pronunciation, but rather someone imitating an old Spanish pronunciation and/or lisping... AnonMoos (talk) 12:52, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

text: That's what I mean -- the song does not reflect a true "distinction" dialect (which are very scarce on the ground in Latin America), but instead reflects a basic seseo dialect (as in the pronunciation of Zacatecas), with an added little special pronunciation flourish at the end of the word Cruz.  This added little special pronunciation flourish can be considered to be a one-word ceceo... AnonMoos (talk) 12:53, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

message: At the moment the link "A57(M) (Mancunian Way)" sticks out like a sore thumb as the only link that has a name as well as a number. When I changed the link to "A57(M)" for consistency, another editor reverted with the reason "This particular motorway's article has a name rather than a designation. If there's a consistency problem, it's the article that needs to change." I don't see that as a valid argument -- what is appropriate for a template link and what is appropriate for an article name are two separate questions. A precedent in this template is already set, in that links to the "Leeds Inner Ring Road" article appear as "A58(M)" and "A64(M)". Thoughts? -- Dr Greg  talk  15:36, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Newport, Indiana

message: Newport is officially the home of the Army Ordinance Plant which was originally built in the early 40's to manufature ammunition for the U.S. Military during WWII.  It then became the home of huge tanks that contained "Heavy Water" drawn from the nearby Wabash River and one of the main ingredients in the Hydrogen Bomb (H2O2) Knock off that extra O and you have a split molecule with a free floating O .  Indiana did not have the political clout to keep the Hydrogen Plant and it was moved by rail to North Carolina in the late 40's.  Although it is unclear whether nerve gas was ever produced in Newport, large containers of the troubled material is stored at the plant.  It has finally has been put underground for safer storage.  Scientists are still working on how to destroy the stuff safely.  Incineration seems to be the leading method but still not sure about the biproducts and how to capture that and what to do with it.  A mess in Newport.  Air raid sirens all over the place. The "Plant" encompasses a huge parcel of ground which the government has rented back to local farmers for grazing land and farming.  If the "official" activities are ever finished it is wondered what will happen to the land which was bought from locals via eminent domain back in the 30's.
:H2O2 isn't Heavy Water; it's Hydrogen Peroxide. Heavy Water is H2O, with H being the single-neutron isotope of Hydrogen.

When St. Augustine says that "by lying eternal life is lost", what he means is that lying is a mortal sin, and as such makes the sinner lose the eternal life within him, viz. grace, and in itself the prospect of eternal life. A modern reader would understand that once lied, you are certainly damned to Hell (viz. that in addition the sin were unforgivable) which is not what he said. And then there's also the point that according to the very general opinion of theologians if nothing less, while any (real) lie is a sin, only the malicious one is mortal; though I do not now know whether in this they corrected St. Augustine or only explained his real meaning further which does not completely shine forth in this specific quote.--77.4.90.46 (talk) 17:38, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
