Re: Different People That Were Murdered
Kellyhound, I appreciate the content you provide, and the thankless pro bono effort you doubtless expend as a moderator of a forum with a batshit crazy user base. That said, I have a suggestion - which I realize is presumptuous of me as a non-donating freeloader, but I don't have any money because I spent it all on books and guns - I think you should change the wording of your titles to "Various People..." instead of "Different People... ". The varying definitions of "different" introduce a needless ambiguity to the meaning of your titles, while "various" is very exact and is immediately comprehended by the reader. Effectively, "different" is a blunt instrument that one can wield to bash about and eventually break through to the writer's intention, while "various" is a razor that cuts straight to the heart of the matter. I realize there is something wrong with me. But I have degrees in com lit and English and I can't help it. |

Re: Different People That Were Murdered
Always is an interesting word. The contraction goes back to old English, and derives from the phrase ealne weg - "all way". Weg is ultimately derived from the PIE root *wegh-, which is one of the most well-attested extant PIE roots. Now, here's the neat part: comparative and historical linguists were able to establish with near-certainty that *wegh- in PIE means "to convey by wheeled vehicle". This is an important determination, because it provides strong evidence that the wheeled vehicle was invented on the Pontic Steppe north of the Black Sea by the early Kurgan culture - the same people who domesticated the horse - as opposed to being invented in Mesopotamia, which has long been the assumption of prehistoric archaeologists. |
