It's a confusing title. It would be more clear as "The declension of the word "dog" in various languages".

I just write the words separately and remove the spaces afterwards. An "I'm about to write a compound word"-button would be an easy solution, but it shouldn't be hard for the keyboard to automatically join the words afte

But you aren't paying for the editors and only a fraction of the donation goes to covering server costs. The Wikipedia project does not need your money and the foundation has enough money to survive indefinitely if they'd cut cost

The foundation has so much money that they could fully sustain themselves just from their endowment if they wanted to. They really do not need donations from the public and their petitions for money are misleading for the majority of people

You use uppercase Roman numerals to indicate a major chord. So it is then easy to distinguish between vii⁰ and VII and is the standard way in music theory.

Although I would welcome the use of common names instead of Latin names, the names in anatomy and pathology are annoying but not a hindrance. The difficult thing is to remember causes and symptoms of diseases, innervation of muscles, drug p

Please note that acetaminophen/paracetamol is incredibly safe at normal doses and does not kill your liver. It is only when you attempt to overdose (or if you have severely limited liver function) that you run out of the liver enzymes

They aren't really foundational, they're just a set of styles that tend to look nice and are therefore taught in introductory classes. There aren't any actual rules for things like style/taste/fashion.

Only for people who already have liver failure or who are attempting a suicide by overdose. Acetaminophen is completely safe at normal doses and the liver enzymes have no problem breaking it down at normal doses. It's only when you tak

That is not the case, since 1MDB wasn't supposed to fund anything in Hollywood. It was sold to the public as a unified state fund similar to the Norwegian oil fund. The funds from 1MDB were fraudulently directed to another bank account

I haven't been able to find any instances of the courts requesting take-downs. But the registry has removed some ISIS domains on their own accord.

There only exists two proven methods for stopping back pain: Physical exercise and rest. Many things tend to go away by themselves (regression to the mean), back pain appears to be one of them and we haven't found better ways to treat
