I had to, as part of my work, take a 9-year-old Japanese girl to the dentist to get her front teeth fixed, involving lots of 'shaving' of the teeth and me holding her hand and translating for the dentist. A terribly horrific experience for me, as I had my front teeth taken out without anaesthetic when I was a kid, but the child was loving every minute of it (except the part where she nearly drowned in the water from the drill). What is the word for a fear of dentists?-- KageTora (영호 (影虎)) ( talk) 02:04, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Shall there be a space between the number and the "%"?
For example: 98% or 98 %

I personally would not put a space in there. I get paid per character, and the space is a character, and I've been told specifically not to put it in, in cases like this. Anyway, I don't think it's necessary, and I am so used to not putting it in that it actually looks silly to me now. I'd go with the 'no space' bit.-- KageTora (영호 (影虎)) ( talk) 11:22, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
I was trying to ascertain the relationship and degree of mutual intelligibility between Hindi (a macrolanguage, I recognize) and Rajasthani. Apparently Hindi is a Central Indo-Aryan language and Rajasthani is a Western Indo-Aryan language, yet formerly Rajasthani was classified as a dialect of Hindi. How much mutual intelligibility is there? Are there any rough comparisons that can be made, e.g. like Spanish (Castillian) compared to Portuguese, or to Catalan, or to French or Italian? Thanks for everyone's help -- 71.111.205.22 ( talk) 16:13, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
