Thanks for uploading Image:Church Nagykovacsi.jpg.

[edit] Yo
Why did you make Justine Waddell a freatured article?
Quite by accident
[edit] John Le Carré: "protesting at"
I don't want to get into a prolonged edit war about this, but it seems that "protesting the war" is a much more common usage than "protesting at the war," recent CNN-speak or no. "Protesting against the war" is somewhere in the middle; would you agree on that instead? Brainslug 22:07, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Protesting and prepositions
Some time ago I asked some colleagues who are American (I'm English) about what I took to be a neologism I'd heard on CNN viz. 'protest' used without prepositions. They shook their heads in their usual affable way and said that in the USA 'protest' could be used with or without and that it was 'no big deal'.
In England 'protest' is ALWAYS (caps for emphasis not for 'shouting') used with a preposition or prepositional phrase except where it means 'claim' as in 'protest innocence' or 'protest their not being informed'. Besides, adding a preposition (as WE always do) when we use 'protest' as a rough synonym for 'demonstrate' does inevitably bring useful clarity. If you take for example, 'The demonstrators protested their country's involvement in the treaty'; just which side were they on?
'Protesting against the war' is a very good idea. (And I think I mean that in both senses).
Regards
