Talk:Adverse credit history

message: I'm not sure this article is all that helpful. It suggests that a consumer's credit history is binary: either it's adverse or it's not. But lenders recognize a spectrum, a continuum, of credit history--they don't lump histories into two buckets. I'd recommend dropping this article altogether. 199.244.214.30 20:40, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Wexis

message: I marked this as being somewhat superficial and inaccurate. I used to work for a  legal publisher. Most of the oversight was by the United States Department of Justice in connection with the antitrust inquiry under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act in connection with Thomson Corporation's purchase of West Publishing, and West's and Lexis's settlement of various outstanding claims in that proceeding, resulting in LexisNexis purchasing certain titles from Thomson . Also, Wolters Kluwer is internationally as formidable as Reed Elsevier and Thomson Corporation, and owns CCH is the US.

Talk:Riad Al Solh

message: From time to time, foreign names have an unfortunate meaning in English, e.g. Lee Bum Suk. "Al Solh" is another of these, because under the Arabic sun letter system the "l" sound of "Al" is changed to match the following "s" sound, giving "As-Solh".

Talk:Literary language

message: The two examples given are not very illuminating to me.  I'm left with more confusion than before as to what is a good example of literary English, and what is a contrasting example of spoken English.  131.107.0.73 21:37, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Examples 

message: Hi.  The fact is, I would start a sentence with "consider this sentence."  I am a professor.  The fact that most Americans choose to speak poor English in most situations--myself, an unrepentant Southerner, included--does not change the fact that there is a correct and an incorrect way to say most things.  I choose, from time to time, to speak incorrectly.  That is, I choose, from time to time, to mirror the speech idiosyncrasies of those around me.  Calling correct English a literary dialect is singularly moronic, just as calling correct Spanish (which is no more derived from Valladolid than it is from Cuenca) a literary dialect is wrong. If you have a problem with this, then you need to think hard about the disadvantages faced by young people who are constantly told that what they do, think, or speak is wonderful, when in fact what they speak is considered garbage by prospective employers.

thread_title:  This article chafes me badly 

message: The paragraph duplicated below is about the written language of English. The written language is obviously commonly deployed to write down the literary language, but it is not obvious that the literary language would have anything directly to do with the spelling etc. The paragraph should be moved to the written language page.
Likewise, native readers and writers of English are often unaware that the complexities of English spelling make written English a somewhat artificial construct. The traditional spelling of English, at least for inherited words, preserves a late Middle English phonology that is no one's speech dialect; the artificial preservation of this much earlier form of the language in writing might make much of what we write intelligible to Chaucer, even if we could not understand his speech. When written language comes to be strongly divergent from spoken language, the resulting situation is called diglossia. Tom McArthur suggests that it is at least arguable that written and spoken English have reached that stage.--Ippei 20:00, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
