Talk:Tatiana Poutchek

message: To whoever may be interested in weird spelling of the surname: During the Soviet times (when she was born) there was a tradition to issue international passports where the names in Latin alphabet were spelled according to French spelling rules. Today Belarussian surnames are spelled in another weird way (if one remembers that most Belarusians are used to Russian spelling in official texts), but this is another story. For example, my friend "Vladimir" has great troubles explaining his colleagues in the US what the heck "Uladzimir" is. And another my friend Nick is routinely called Mike, Michael, and even female-ish Mikalia :-), because of Belarusian spelling "Mikalai" for Nicholas (Russian: Nikolai).

It says "Tysyatsky (tysiatsky, Russian: тысяцкий; sometimes translated "dux" or "Heerzog" but more correctly meaning "thousandman" - sometimes translated into the Greek "chilliarch") was a military leader in Ancient Rus, who commanded a people's volunteer army called тысяча (tysyacha, or a thousand)".

Talk:Pavol Jozef Šafárik University

message: The article needs to be moved to Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice, which is official English name according to university bylaws, article 1, section 2. Thank you!--Lišiak (talk) 18:52, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The syntax of the name Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice would be legitimate in English (cf. Washington University in St. Louis). However, the short form Pavol Jozef Šafárik University is also used by the university itself (e.g., here). It seems appropriate to keep the short form as the article title, as for example for Northumbria University. Doremo (talk) 02:06, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: OK. It depends on whether it is prefered (full) official name of the school or most common name (in English). Pavol Jozef Šafárik University is sufficient as far as there is no other university with same name (there used to be Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Prešov, now University of Presov). Syntax <Name of University> in <City> is officiality in Slovakia (which looks quite strange in case of schools named after cities, like Prešovská univerzita v Prešove – verbatim Prešov's University in Prešov), that's why many universities/colleges translate its name to English in this way (except ones named after cities, e.g. Trnava University, University of Žilina, University of Presov).--Lišiak (talk) 02:45, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Sequitur algorithm

message: "a grammar" <-- doesn't it seem ironic to have poor grammar, while talking ABOUT grammar? Or perhaps this has some alternate meaning I'm not able to see. Anyone have thoughts on this? --70.66.98.187 05:47, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The word "Grammar" is used with a definite or indefinite article when discussing a specific grammar used to describe a language. Used in this way "a grammar" basically means "a set of rules used to describe a language", so for instance we have books such as "A Latin Grammar" written by Charles Bennet in 1895 which lists and explains the grammatical rules used to write Latin. The word, "grammar" may also be used without an article when discussing grammar in general or as a field of study. Both uses are grammatical in their proper places. Read the grammar article for instances of both usages. The SEQUITUR article discusses an algorithm which generates grammars (in the former sense). So its use of the words, "a grammar", is perfectly grammatical. -- Derek Ross | Talk 15:51, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

message: It strikes me that this article might be a bit overbroad in asserting "Melchor was known for designing the pontoon bridges used by the U.S. Army during the Second World War." I frankly doubt that the U.S. Army used bridges designed by him in non-Philippine theaters. I do see that he is credited here and here with being the inventor of the pontoon bridge, but the WP article on that speaks of pontoon bridges having been in use centuries prior to his birth. 
I see that  (see this), apparently being a book by a daughter, contains a snippet saying, "My father received a Legion of Merit from the U.S. Government for his work on pontoon bridges that were widely ...", but I have no access to look further at that. Perhaps someone with access to a U.S. library might check this out further. Also, this 1942 photo might be useful in this article. Wtmitchell  (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 02:49, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
