message: Hemmingway told us that his Old Man used a skiff. I guess it was not "high performance" in the modern sense. So maybe skiff could also be simply a small fisherman's boat with a sail? I imagine something like this: http://www.clcboats.com/images/boats/jimmy-2.jpg In other words: does it have to be "high performance"?

message: Am not very convinced this is appropriate... 
Skiff as rowing boat in the Thames skiff sense is not an exclusively British usage and skiff in the sense of boats derived from the overcanvassed Sydney hardbour sailing boats is most definitely an International usage. I doubt there is an english speaking country in the world where the word isn't used in at last two of the listed senses...

Talk:Gilbert Tennent

message: This article will require extensive revision but research is needed before edits are made. Apart from the introduction there is very little information about Gilbert Tennent's role in the Great Awakening. The section "Role as an emissary" contains factual errors and is more about the Paxton Boys than Tennent. Scots-Irish immigrants squatted on indigenous territory and thus became targets during the French and Indian War and Pontiac's War. The Paxton Boys formed in 1763 in response.

Talk:Mutsun language

message: OK, here's the problem I have with the article. It cites a single source, which is (and is welcome to be) a booster of the language and people. That's potential bias right there. More factually, though:
* the language did not go extinct until 1930, long after Spanish control (see Talk:Main page). That's a problem.
* I can learn a language, and have, and I could even be forced to learn and use a language, but I still know and use English. A language doesn't go extinct because someone is forced to learn a new one, it goes extinct because people stop using it. What are the causes that led the Mutsun to stop using their language? Potentially:
** Legal. Persecuted for using Mutsun.
** Economic. Need to use Spanish for trade reasons.
** Technological. Use the language that has the words for the new items you encounter.
** Social. Live around mainly Spanish speakers, or around few Mutsun speakers.
* So after Mexico secularized the missions in 1834, how did the legal control continue? Or did the extinction happen as with many languages -- because a niche language is less useful in an interconnected society. 
I recognize the imperialism of Spain and the questionable voluntary character of religious conversions of the era by modern standards, but the flat statement "went extinct when they were forced to learn Spanish" is not just questionable, it's obviously factually wrong, because the extinction occurred more than a century later. --Dhartung | Talk 07:40, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I've made the french version of mutsun. The chart of phonems is from Arroyo, a spanich colonial source from the XIXth century. it doesn't describe the phonems at all!

thread_title:  wrong phonemic chart 

message: What is this supposed to mean? 'which to this day remains the only grammar ever written of any Costanoan language.'
Clearly it's not true, since there was a grammar written by Father Felipe Arroyo de la Cuesta, which is referred to in the previous sentence. I suspect it means something like, 'which to this day remains the only grammar written of any Costanoan language that is couched in modern linguistic theory', or perhaps, 'Mutsun is the only Costanoan language to this day to have a grammar written for it', but that's an extremely different meaning which requires a different context.

thread_title: Untitled

message: Dear all,
If I'm correct, the defenition of "neo" in chemistry, is "A C-atom surrounded by 4 other C-aromt".
Therefore "Heptane" has 3 different "neoheptane's"
1) 2,2-Dimethylpentane, (H3C)3–C–CH2–CH2–CH3
2) 3,3-Dimethylpentane, H3C–CH2–C(CH3)2–CH2–CH3
3) 2,2,3-Trimethylbutane, CH3–C(CH3)2–CH(CH3)–CH3
All these above molecules, contain a C-atom surrounded by 4 other C-atoms. Therefore "NeoHeptane" does not specify a single molecule structure, and does not exist.
Thats why i removed the name "neoheptane" after 2,2Dimethylpentane.
