Kudos for your edits on pronunciation. But what are the marks ̯ you keep adding under certain vowels?—msh210℠ 21:41, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
- Strictly speaking, the "arch" isn't necessary in English pronunciations here, since we also include audio recordings. --EncycloPetey 23:51, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
- But the problem with the arches is that on many browsers, the rendering of the arches obscures the underlying IPA characters. I've checked on both Mac using Safari and Windows IE, and the arches make the underlying characters harder to read. They add nothing, and hurt the readability. --EncycloPetey 04:33, 24 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Please see my edits to the pronunciation. We permit (and encourage) pronunciations to identify the region for which they are appropriate. --EncycloPetey 23:56, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for helping out with pronunciations. There are a few format conventions that I should let you know about. You can see them in this edit. Notice that UK and US pronunciations are placed on separate lines, and that we enclose the region within the {{a}} template (for "accent"). This turns the "UK" and "US" into links about that particular region's pronunciation. Also, the IPA itslef should always be placed within an {{IPA}} template. Some users cannot read the IPA characters otherwise, because their computer will not select the correct font. Again, thanks for helping out. --EncycloPetey 17:25, 16 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
This is a word in Latin, not a prefix. so, just as we would not create an entry for "cow-" for the etymology of cowboy, so we don't create an entry for "de-" in Latin. --EncycloPetey 22:08, 14 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
