While editing my number got mixed up with #130.94.122.
Hey Helga -- I think it may be time for you to move your user page fully over to the user:namespace and turn H. Jonat into a redirect. I'll do this for you in about a week if you don't have time to get around to doing it. Cheers! --maveric149, Thursday, April 25, 2002
Hi maveric149, I do not know anything about this. If you think that it is alright, please go ahead, in a week or so. Maybe you could drop me a line of explanation. Thanks a lot, see you then H. Jonat Fri Apr 26
Hello, Fr. Jonat. Please, comment on the brand new version! I am grateful already.
No problem on the redirects -- I should have seen it coming when I made a stub article for Karl Scheele that the modern spelling might at least be Carl Scheele (let alone his middle name). That's the problem with using really old dictionaries and encyclopedias for sources -- you have to be careful to modernize the names of people and sometimes things. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. --maveric149
Could you please slow down and make sure the English is right. There is (just for example) no such word in English as "Primas". Presumably you know what you mean in German--I don't, which means you need to be the one to get the word right, rather than leaving everyone guessing. Vicki Rosenzweig
Vicki,
Primas is in Webster dictionary under : primate, M.E. primat,LL. primas (latin primus- first). A person with primacy, an archbishop or the highest ranking bishop in the province.
I will add, highest ranking bishop or archbishop. H. Jonat
- For what it is worth, I have never heard or read "Primas" used in the US -- people instead use "Primate" as the title, although very carefully given its other meaning. Slrubenstein
- Archbishop is a specific title in the Catholic church; was he an archbishop? A cardinal? Just a bishop in an area with no archbishops? Vicki Rosenzweig
- Actually, this form is discussed in English plural as a lost singular replaced by another singular back-formed from the plural. But, it is not correct English any more than termes for termite. Ortolan88
Vicki, Slrubenstein, Ortolan88, I changed it to Primate and added archbishop and places. H. Jonat
