Talk:Clitic doubling

message: The second example depends on word order, one can say also: Siempre ofrezco café a mis invitados, with no doubling. This is similar to the occurrence of double negation, Nadie lo sabe vs No lo sabe nadie.
In the third example, No des comida a los animales is perfectly grammatical.
So the assertion 'Indirect object clitic doubling is compulsory in Spanish when it refers to a person or another animate entity' is false. Also, the last two examples are clearly the less preferred forms. 62.203.45.76 17:57, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As a native speaker, I whole-heartedly agree with that: As you say, with indirect object the doubling is not compulsory; and with direct objects the doubling sounds very convoluted (to me, I'd even say it sounds nigh on ungrammatical; at least I can't remember having ever heard, let alone said, something like the examples given). 213.37.6.65 15:10, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Talk:An Slua Muiri

message: Just added merge templates to An Slua Muiri and NSR. The latter is the more complete textually, but it seems more like an advert or press release. The former is more wikified and has the templates ready to go. Also NSR is a horrible article name. But the NSR article does seem more current. I am unaware which is more correct. Any suggestions?

Talk:Constitutions of Melfi

message: The statement "using reason and logic to dismiss the superstitious foundations of the ordeal; for example, it was recognized that the natural buoyancy of the human body was responsible for causing a person to float in the trial by water, not his guilt or innocence" sounds funny to me. People understood buoyancy and they never actually believed that guilt or innoncence caused flotation or sinking: they believed that God, for the cause of justice, would cause a guilty man to sink when there was no other way to determine responsibility for a crime, no? If Frederick's legislation dismissed the ordeal of water on the basis of buoyancy, it seems to have been inadequate in explaining why that method doesn't work. Just food for thought.

;Born or moved?
"After the First World War, he and his family moved to a small farm which his father bought. Most of the time, his mom and dad were busy, and his siblings were usually caught up, pursuing their own interests. "
;Needs a source
The farm he lived in played a very important role in his life. At a very young age, he was fascinated by all the electrical gadgets and machinery found all over the farm including threshing machines, the binders, and generators. Also, at the farm, there were fewer distractions such as going to a cinema or watching ball games, to keep young Godfrey sidetracked from pursuing his goals. 
;Wartime
Since Godfrey had a passion for airplanes, he later on volunteered in the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a reservist, when the outbreak of the World War II occurred in 1939. He worked hard to study the books that the RAF gave him to accomplish the job of a radio mechanic, he passed a difficult vocational test, and was appointed as a Radar Mechanic Instructor and moved on to the RAF-occupied Royal College of Science in South Kensington. Later Godfrey went to Cranwell Radar School, where he spent time building a large-screen oscilloscope, and equipment for instruction for which Godfrey was awarded the Certificate Of Merit.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Midgley (talk • contribs) 20:52, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
