[edit] Bad words
A phrase like To make it more confusing" shouldn't really be found in an encyclopedia. --209.162.8.244 18:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] IPA
I just wanted to leave a word of explanation for why I changed /ˈdʌ·kʰətʰ/ to /ˈdʌkət/. First, aspiration is subphonemic in English, so it doesn't belong in a phonemic transcription to begin with. (Even on the phonetic level, it would not necessarily belong: speakers of Indian or South African English omit the aspiration regularly. I myself, a North American, might aspirate /k/ but not /t/.) Also, the syllable division used the wrong phonetic syllable (it's properly just a period/full stop); and since the /k/ would technically be ambisyllabic, positing a syllable division seems to me as though it would just muddy the waters.

[edit] Purchasing power
Does anyone have any information on the purchasing power of a ducat? Examples of historical purchases of land, ships, etc. would be excellent. 130.226.217.201 (talk) 12:30, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
