Cambridge Latin Course
editThanks for fixing my grammatical and formatting errors on the several pages related to Cambridge Latin Course. Based on your knowledgeable edits and contributions (and your username), I assume you know quite a bit about the series and/or about the Roman Empire. I'm wondering what your opinion is about when to use the praenomen, nomen, and cognomen (or whatever they are) in Wikipedia articles and about how to abbreviate the three names. Please reply on my talk page, and/or make appropriate edits on the pages in question. Thanks again. Picaroon9288 17:26, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Intel740 Article
editI saw your edit changing discreet to discrete citing a spelling error. I think you are correct, but upon searching it seems at least SGI and Microsoft both use discreet. But then again, PC World, ATI, etc all use discrete so who knows ;) otduff 21:30, March 05 2006 (UTC)
- It looks like I should have read the page history, and given a better edit summary. Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure it's "discrete": dictionary.com defines it as meaning separate, unconnected and distinct, while "discreet" means modest and restrained. In this case, "discrete" refers to graphics cards that are separate and distinct from the motherboard, rather than integrated into it. FlocciNonFacio 16:31, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
