[edit] Sentiments regarding the US and a learning project
Hi there, I found you when I read your insightful comment at the vote regarding Pro-American sentiment. Unfortunately no one has yet taken care of it. But there are more important things. I started a project about learning, mainly vocabulary. Some guys discussed it with me on my user page. Maybe you are interested, if so, please let me know there as well.

[edit] Tallest structures - "Paris area"
We are presently having a dispute over an article title - an article about structures "in Paris" , but over 70% of the article content, and the tallest of the lot (save a very few), are not at all in Paris. A few of us have managed to come into agreement over an "in the Paris area" title - your views and vote on the matter would much be welcome at Talk:List of tallest buildings and structures in Paris. Thank you for this and for your contributions on a similar question. THEPROMENADER 20:11, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your participation - I know that my call for your involvement was a bit 'above and beyond', but I did like the objectiveness of your comments on my "naming convention" questions. I left you a reply, as did User:Hardouin. Thanks. THEPROMENADER 00:10, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

- Can you perhaps add some impartial comment to the discussion? You are one of few there of that category. A vote would be welcome if all is clear to you - I know the talk page is long. Thanks. THEPROMENADER 13:52, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lion
In case you are still interested, the section on lion social behavior is being slowly eroded into meaninglessness. Haiduc 11:15, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Parley
I've checked Oxford, Random House, American Heritage, Merriam-Webster. They all have the same pronunciation. Are you sure you aren't making the mistake of assuming that ē is /ei/? Also, turnout doesn't have an unstressed syllable. It's /ˈtɝnˌaʊt/. Ƶ§œš¹ [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi] 00:03, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, the alleged secondary stress in turnout only means that the vowel isn't reduced; it isn't actually stress. (If it were, it would be primary, as the last stressed syllable in a word said in isolation takes primary stress.) I also have a diphthong /ei/ in parley, but we could use Monday as an example. kwami (talk) 02:54, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
- Ahh, I stand corrected. I'd been looking up parley. Ƶ§œš¹ [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi] 19:19, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
