message: In the lists "Confessional Evangelical Lutheran Conference," "Global Confessional and Missional Lutheran Forum," and "Unaffiliated Lutheran denominations" (that is, all but the first list) if you click on the column heading "Members,"  the lists don't sort properly.

replies: text: I fixed the sorting by forcing the membership column to do a numeric sort. Apparently the sorting samples the first few rows to determine the sorting type, and if those rows have mostly non-numeric entries, then a text type sort is done. Indyguy (talk) 05:06, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Munter

message: Taken out unnecessary un-encyclopaedic detail
Munter is a British sexual slur used to refer to a remarkably ugly person of the opposite sex, especially with regard to women. Also in the South West of England, it's a local phrase used primarily to describe overweight, short, futt bugly, large headed, small breasted (or droopy breasted, imagine 2 snooker balls in socks) female office workers with scary eyes, facial hair and teeth like cleedus. For more slurs with similar meanings see the list of sexual slurs. Also see Britney Spears, Sherree Blair and Chuck Norris

Munter is a British sexual slur used to refer to an ugly person of the opposite sex, especially with regard to women.
The page 'list of sexual slurs' seems to have disappeared, so I removed the reference.  If anyone can substantiate a separate meaning of the word in the SW of England, please do so.  Rojomoke 14:50, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Shukra

message: This may be OR but interesting for discussion: being blinded in one eye and being the "guru" of the asuras (i.e. gods who seek power), and seeing the etymological connection of asura and æsir, shukra seems to have some basis in being identified with Odin.

Talk:Phosphatase

message: Just keeping this safe in case it is needed.
=== Metallophosphatases ===
The metalloenzymes by far comprise the greatest bulk of phosphatases, and contain such enzymes as alkaline phosphatase (three metal ions, only two of which are catalytically active), the serine threonine phosphatases and inositol monophosphatase (a key enzyme in manic depression).
The enzyme is found in lysosomes, and is used to dispose of unwanted RNA as well as generally maintain order within the cell. Other enzymes found in lysosomes include proteases.

I'm not familiar with money matters, but terms I recognise include "reminder" or "reminder letter" or "invoice reminder" and, if the debtor persistently refuses to pay, you can call on the services of a "debt collection agency" - and even then I've never heard of a debt collection agency "dunning" people.
