[edit] Hi fellow IPAian

I've just read the section on IPA on your user page and I sympathize. And I hope you never come across the German wikipedia where nobody would listen to such reasons when I tried to improve the way IPA is represented. Two side-thoughts: I'm not convinced of the use of class="nounderlines" since it's ultimately always a client side decision how the links are displayed. If a browser displays all links with default underline, then there's no way to override this. A possible reason why you have a IPA list to copy-paste might be that you're not using an IPA keyboard. I'm using a SIL IPA keyboard and it's a great aid for IPA input, see http://scripts.sil.org/Input. Of course, you might have plenty of other reasons, but I thought that link could be helpful if you weren't aware of that possibility yet. -- j. 'mach' wust ☞ ☏ 07:46, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shibboleth place names

I think Amherst deserves to be on there. For example, unlike several others, it's an important enough fact to be on the actual page (see the first paragraph of Amherst, Massachusetts), and also unlike several others, there's sources to cite for this (which I did, and there are more on the town's page.) If you think there are too many, why not remove bad ones? Endersdouble 04:10, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

I see from you talk page that linguistics is among your interests. Therefore the following advice will be useful for you whether you will like it or not. When disputing meanings of words you better consult an explanatory dictionary in the corresponding language, rather than a bilingual dictionary. `'mikkanarxi 16:58, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Dear friend, I would like to thank you for your editings in this difficult article. As a non-native speaker of English, I sometimes fail to produce a natural writing style and this is obvious when one looks into details. That is why your help is always appreciated and welcome.

[edit] Re: Template:Consonants

I'm sorry, but the changes you made to attempt to fix your double-sized row problem result in the headers on the right end of the table being misaligned on my screen. If you want to fix this double-sized row problem without causing problems for anyone else, why not try (a) reducing your browser's text size setting, or (b) increasing your computer's screen resolution, if you use a CRT monitor? I have my screen set to 1280×960. --  Denelson83  20:35, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

******What??!!****** Me switch back to a less-secure browser? Actually, may I suggest that you switch your browser over to Firefox? That might be the best immediate solution for both of us. --  Denelson83  22:22, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
