Talk:Clan Kerr

message: The description of the crest is not right, maybe the picture is actually showing the clan badge rather than the armorial arms. --Alf melmac 14:47, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

message: The sole reference provided in the section on left-handed Kerrs mentions that Andrew Kerr "taught" his followers to use their left hands, with the following sentence saying that Kerrs are more likely to be left handed.  Taken at face value, this is preposterous Lamarckism.  In the absence of a research paper or reliable book which says that Kerrs are more likely to be left-handed, I think all claims of genetic left-handedness need to be avoided.

thread_title:  Lamarck and the Kerrs 

message: In the article, it mentions 2 pronunciations of the name "Kerr". One that rhymes with "care", and one that rhymes with "car". Shouldn't the article also mention the pronunciation that rhymes with "sir"? Here in Australia, pretty much all people with the surname Kerr have the pronunciation that rhymes with "sir", including a former head of state (Governor General, Sir John Kerr). This is not a major issue, but as it is a very common pronunciation, it seems strange to leave it out. Ka-ru (talk) 18:32, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd just like to point out that in Scotland the name does not rhyme with the word "care" or "car" at all. In Scottish English the "e" in kerr is an open "eh" sound like the "e" in egg - without any diphthong, and the "r" is distinctly pronounced/rolled.--62.249.233.80 (talk) 17:29, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

I know that the official name of the city in this article is "Governador Valadares" and Mr. Rather kept saying just "Valadares".  It seems to be a common city name in Portugal, like "Springfield" is for cities in the United States.  So it is not clear that the city he was talking about is this one in the article.

message: Mount Naroda (Russian: Народа) is the highest peak of the Urals, located on the border of Komi Republic and Tyumen Oblast in Russia. Its height is 1,894 m. It is formed with quartzites and metamorphosed slates of the Proterozoic and Cambrian eras. There are some glaciers on the mountain. Also, there are sparse forests of larch and birch in deep valleys at the foot of the Mount Naroda. The slopes of the mountain are covered with highland tundra.

I also deleted "Photo taken by "The Team ©", because photos on Wikipedia articles don't usually include the creator's credit in the caption; that information can be accessed by clicking on the photo and viewing the metadata associated with it.

replies: text: This confusion arises from the presence of the "cephalic flexure" in humans, which is the kink in the central nervous system that results in the forebrain being turned ~90 degrees relative to the rest of the CNS. This was, obviously, a necessary adjustment with the evolution of upright bipedalism, to keep our eyes pointed forward when we started walking on two legs!  In the first image, "coronal" is being used with respect to the nervous system, while for the second image, "transverse" is being used with respect to the (human) body orientation, i.e., a plane parallel to the ground.  Both are correct and frankly, I can't decide which to change for consistency's sake, in part because the page for anatomical terms of location, and particularly the section on planes of section, is a total mess.
