Well I'm still going to type Asoka.

There is a universally accepted transliteration scheme. The "sh" sound can be written as "sh" or "s" with a line over it, so Ashoka can be written as "Ashoka" or "Asoka," with a line over the "s." "Asoka" on its own is wrong.

Then you should tell history writers, because I've seen both Ashoka and Asoka, but never Asoka with a bar.

In fact, the sho-so disparity is not isolated to this one example. There are a number of other places I've seen it.

Indeed, "Siva" is another example. I'm willing to bet that most instances of it are either issues with font (the bar not showing up), or of lazy copy-editing. It doesn't make sense, when transliterating a phonetic language, to spell the "sh" sound with just an "s."

Well, now that I've said it I feel better.
I will therefore promise not to annoy you. Too much. And not at all about this stuff.

Hmmm, there doesn't seem to be an "I swear" smiley... this will have to do:

b etor, listen, I'm giving you an advice as a friend here.. don't give too much information about yourself in here. Just by reading few sites, we'd have your pics, age, address, everything. You might think so what.. but just be careful, OK? Trust me, this is not a good idea.

my last name isnt anywhere online. neither is my address.
its very nice of you to care, but i'll be fine. thnx.

You are about as far away from where I live as you can get and still be in PA.

3 kids born in feb... what's so special about may?

The wife and I used to get away for Memorial Day weekend.

Oh - and then there was that time we were moving back from Phoenix in May...

But please don't post anything ever on the internets - Pekka is lurking out there just waiting for his next trip to NW PA...

It sounds like Memorial Day weekend used to have a lot of BOWECHIGA-BOWOW.

Fine, my last name is on my school website... but my address definitely isn't just out there.

[Pekka]

I already said, don't be stupid. Why do you insist to be stupid?

[b etor]

And just how am I being stupid?

[Pekka]

Well, first of all, making a thread on the internet, begging someone to do YOUR homework, then, by not understanding the simple concept of protecting your identity. Then when you are given an advice about it, instead of appreciating it, you turn to sniff your own ass, not get it, and in fact kind of be a ***** about it.



Is this enough for you?
