Does a comma come after although.e.g.
Although, some have thought it was nine feet tall.
Also, is Caeser, Augustus, or Emperor captiized when refering to a person, not in a name title.
What about here?
He is later considered to be the first Roman Emperor.
In 37 Caligula (37-41) succeeded Tiberius as Emperor.
Also, is this the correct way of using the semicolon, colon, and the word although:
He recalled Demetrius from Greece; although, he was winning success after success there, and moved against Lysimachus.

Czech and Hungarian are unrelated but have the common feature that every word (or nearly every word) is stressed on the first syllable. Do any other languages with significant numbers of speakers have this feature? JackofOz 03:34, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks folks. There's no mention of this in the Icelandic article, so maybe someone who knows what they're talking about should do so. JackofOz 01:37, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Hello, I've done searches to find the answer to this question, but it seems to be too specific:
Mandarin Chinese has a character “这”(zhe4). The meaning of this word is like the English "this". Native Chinese speakers pronounce this word in one of two ways, either like the English word "jay" or like the first sound in the English word "judge". Today, Chinese young people simply choose one of the two pronounciations and stick with it, or use them interchangeably. However, my Chinese teacher in America said that there are, or used to be, rules for when you use the first pronunciation, and when you use the second. He is an older gentleman, so he still follows these rules himself. However, I can't remember what he said these rules are.
So, with that background out of the way, my question: What are the rules for the pronunciation of this word? Do they still exist today?
I know that this question is random and specific, but any help you can give me would be appreciated. Even my young Chinese teachers in China didn't know that these rules exist, so I don't really know where else to go.
Thank you in advance.-- Danaman5 07:05, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
"There is no official language in Eritrea, rather it has three working languages, Tigrinya, Arabic, and English, and Italian is still sometimes spoken as a commercial language."
What is precisely wrong with this sentence and what would be the best way to fix it? -- Merhawie 16:47, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
(edit conflict)
It's wrong. 'Rather' is not a coordinating conjunction, so as mentioned it would need a semicolon (or maybe a colon?) before it. Henry Flower 18:21, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
It's also a run-on sentence. Put a period after "Eritrea," and change "rather" to "Instead."-- Teutoberg 20:12, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you very much everyone for your input! This was a tremendous help! -- Merhawie 20:52, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
How can I get an English version of this or get it translated from Latin to English? Is there a software program that would automatically translate this from Latin to English? In lieu of that, how could I get a list of at least the names of each on this Petrarch list? Is there common names on his list of names as Jerome, Boccacio, or Suetonius whom have same? Is there a web site of an English version of Petrarch's? Or a list of scholars that might have it in English? Whom are key scholars knowledgable about Petrarch? -- Doug Coldwell 19:42, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
This is very helpful. Then I understand this is the complete list of names on Petrarch's De Viris Illustribus!? So my understanding is that then he just describes these individuals with a brief description or history of each!? Are you a scholar quite familiar with Petrarch? Do you know of others very familiar with Petrarch? Have you ever come across where Petrarch wrote in a "pen name" or wrote in any type of a "code"? Are you at all familar with Jerome's list of "Christian writers" or know who is familiar with these? You have been very helpful and it helps me a lot in my research I am doing on Petrarch. -- Doug Coldwell 23:57, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
I would like to know if there is a term for a publication that is released 3 times a year. I'm familiar with, weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc.
Should Emperor be capatalized.
He is later considered to be the first Roman Emperor.
In 37 Caligula (37-41) succeeded Tiberius as Emperor.
What about kingdom.
The gold of Babylon represents that the great Kingdom did not need much.
The Crusaders exiled the Greek Orthodox Patriarch from the city, and a Latin hierarchy was established in the Kingdom under a Latin Patriarch.
Also, does 1960's have an apostophe.
