    Is there a way to look this up in a dictionary?

    What is the difference between a long and short vowel? What do teachers teach the kiddos? If so, then you really just use the “normal” “rules” for English vowels. This are some possible sounds for u in Latin-derived words in English:


    • /ju/ as in the stressed syllables cuticle, Europe, funeral, humor, purify, and urine, or in the unstressed syllable of accurate and mercury.
    • /u/ as in the stressed syllables of juniper, juror, Rubicon and troubadour. So they are the equal syllables of juniper again.

    • // as in the stressed syllables of abundant, annul, culture, custom, number jugular pumice, and sulfur.
    • As in the stressed syllables of murmur, occur, recursive, urban, urgent, and Ursa Major.

    • //, as in the unstressed syllables of DNA, Culture, Murmur, Lemur, and Sulphur.
    • // as in the unstressed syllables of album, asylum, bacterium, circus, focus, illustrate, proconsul, and suburbia.

    There are many other possibilities. When we look in the list as you see, there is nothing special about words that come from Latin.

    What are the reasons that you can not come up with something that seems to make sense to a native language user? If so, how?

    If you are talking not about English words, but rather about open and closed u in the traditional English pronunciation of Latin words, then that is perhaps something else again.

    Some folks use proved as the past participle and such as an adjective! Whereas others use proved only as an adjective! How truism that I

    • had not proved yet…
    • Is what you say proven facts?

    I think I wouldn’t raise eyebrows just yet. Or rather, you could alternately use proven in the first case above, but you could not use proved in the second one. At least, that’s what my ear tells me.

    What is the verdict in Scots Law?


    Edit

    As of 2007, the OED3 reports of proven adj. were invalid. I was the 1st J.F. GORGE, 2nd J.C. GORGE, or first J.H. GORGE, OED2, OED3 had no other record. Edit As of 2007, the OED3 reports of proven adj. This

    is the usual form in Scottish English (as opposed to proved adj.), though also the preferred form in current North American English. It is now also more frequent than proved adj.. In British English.

    What is the story of prove v. v. com.? can only give an excerpt. What are the pros and cons of a tenor?

    Brit. Pronunciation : Brit. /pruv/, U.S. /pruv/ Inflections
    : Past participle proved, proven. Invalid. If proven.

    The past participle proven, originally Scots and the usual form in Scottish English, developed from forms by analogy with strong verbs like cloven, past participle of cleave v. 1, woven, previous participle of weave/i.e. weave/i.e. weave/j.f. v. 1, woven, past participle of weave, past participle of weave, v. Is this the same word as it was used in English as a second language in the North American tradition? It is also spreading into other varieties of English, in which the highest proportion of occurrences appears to occur in the past and perfect passive. Compare proven,. compare. Compare proven adj. , proven adj.

    So I really don’t think that proven should be considered a deliberate archaism, insofar as in some parts of English it has always had a strong presence, and it seems now to be spreading even to regions where it previously did not hold sway Is the OED note merely a ‘Rendering Opportunity’?

    When a prefix ends with the same vowel as the Word it’s prefixing begins with, it’s common to use a hyphen to separate them.

    When these letters are vowels, in older typesetting traditions, particularly those free from the typewriter’s tyranny, one used a diaeresis on the second vowel to indicate it was in hiatus.

    Well, normally you could — except that because there already exists an adjective derived from Elysium, Elysian, this blocks or at best interferes with creating an alternate adjective.

    Trying to create -what should I do? Elysial would really be an uphill battle, since “We already have one, thank you very much”. Plus people will be constantly thinking you have mispelled the “elysian” in “Eagle”.

    It is not always capitalized. (Especially when used in an extended sense). The OED gives this example: 1882 Ouida

    • Maremma I. 149 Vast grasslandscovered in spring with the elysian asphodel.

    In this framework, they note the presence of an -ize suffix (name) over Elysian, which gives rise to a

    further derived form via the elysianize productive suffix. What is in Intr.? , in terms of extravagant approbation.

    • 1868 Bushnell ser. Living Subj. 413 Theyfall into a strain of elysianizing.

    ie trying to have the existing elysian battle it out with your desired outcomes? It is not a battle worth waging.

    What does “”meaning tensely” mean? Is it only a coincidence that people always say “Ellish” because that’s the language they use

    to speak?

    Why is your original sentence empty without indirect object?

    • Jesus shows love to his parents.

    In this case kindness should be the direct object, and his parents should be the object of the preposition to — it is not an indirect object there.

    In this sentence:

    • “He showed his parents kindness. Is that an understatement?

    Now his parents is indeed an indirect object.

    From an indirect object, this also

    • has an indirect object. He took me to a conference.

    But this did not:

    • He showed it to me.

    Should I worry for any damages, this is just a legal opinion.
