Has something been done to the template for this page? I seem to have lost everything that used to run down the right side of the page at the top, like, for example, the lists of the other Reference Desks. Does anyone else have this problem? Bielle 00:24, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
RefDeskBot munged up the page. I think I've fixed it. Corvus cornix 00:56, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
I am seeking pleasant reading about the correlations of Russian to other IndoEur languages. One occassionally catches a glimpse, but true etymological dictionaries have not worked for me. My best hope is that some linguists have magazine articles.
Case and verb endings, pronouns, & half the prepositions ring of Latin, so I supect Kyrill & Mefodius decided to stay with that part of Slavic already spoken.
I am not interested in the tremendous borrowing from French or other clearly identified words, but the true Slavic structure, and how much is borrowed from Latin or Greek, and how much is just parallel protoEuro.
Hi, I have just finished the first book of my fantasy trilogy and would like to know if anyone has some first-hand experience at getting their book(s) published? I know, there are plenty of pointers and content on the web, and I have read some. I am just interested if anyone has some personal tips or suggestions to share. I am particularly concerned about someone stealing the book and publishing it (not caring about legal consequences), or even worse - leaking a copy on the internet. Thanks.

I became a Chief Petty Officer in the Unites States Navy in 1978.
At that time I received a plaque that had portions of the Navy Chief Petty Officer Creed. Not the actual Chief Petty Officer Creed which is different.
In the particular creed, there was a word mentioned that I am unable to find. The word was defined in the creed that I received. The word was "FOULINDECHEROUS", that probably is not the correct spelling. Phonetically it would be Four in Dech Er ous.
The meaning of FOULINDECHEROUS is a person that is adept at untangling fouled ropes or in other words a person that can take a bad situation and correct it.
The Fouled Anchor is the symbol of the Navy Chief Petty Officer. Again it is an Anchor with rope Foulded around it.
I am interested in finding the correct spelling and definintion of "FOULINDECHEROUS"
Thank you in advance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NaughtyCharlie ( talk • contribs)
Can someone give me a list of all the proununciable symbols in English? Like "a in about", "o in over", etc.? I can't find one, and I need one. Thanks. - 2-16 17:47, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
What is the origin of the slang word grand? Example: "My car is worth 5 grand." -- 12.146.20.10 17:56, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
