Re: Japanese

?à?µ?à?µ (moshi moshi) should only be used on the telephone; it's not a general "hello," and the article should reflect this in some way. ?¡?ú?Í (konnichiwa) is probably better here.

For some reason the top left cell of this table (A1 which should be blank or say "Language") isn't coming out right (it shifts the entire row to the left); or when it does someone edits back out.  Or maybe my browser is the only one that notices this? - Justfred

''&Eacute;se'' and ''&eacute;sa'' do carry accents when used by themselves, as do ''&eacute;sos'' and ''&eacute;sas''.  They don't when used with a noun, as in "ese &aacute;rbol."  The same goes for ''&eacute;ste'' and their variants.  --[[

You're right; it's been a few years. I do remember, though, that it's "cuanto c&oacute;mo quieras" :-)

:With all due respect, you remember wrong. <i>Como</i> is accented only when it means "how," not when it means "as." There are sentences in which you could use <i>cu&aacute;nto como quieras</i>, however. &amp;amp;amp;#8212;Eric

Note on the edit conflict <tt>&</tt><tt>amp;</tt> bug that's been rearing its head here; I have fixed this in CVS and asked Jimbo to upgrade the running software. The newer version also includes a diff display in the edit conflict screen, which should be a great help on these long pages... [[user:Brion VIBBER|Brion VIBBER]] 2002/03/26
