Terri Schiavo, dead at 41 by trollercoaster · 2005-03-30 06:01 · Score: -1, Offtopic

I just heard some sad news on talk radio - famous vegetable/right-wing tool Terri Schiavo was found dead in her Florida hospice this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss her - even if you didn't enjoy her work, there's no denying her contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

  If you miss Terri, you can still enjoy her blog.

  I only wish. Unfortunately she is still alive and kicking.
  
  As an aside, I have one question that has been bothering me: I have always heard and read that a person can survive for only a few (like 2-3)days without water. Schiavo has been off her feeding tube for 12 days now, yet is still alive. Can someone explain this apparent disparity for me?

  Holy shit, that's the funniest thing I've seen in forever. God, I'm going to roast in hell.

  Sure, she only gets nutrition through the feeding tube. She gets hydrated through an IV.

  I do not know which is more sad. That I took the time to answer the parent, or that someone wasted a mod point to mod me down.

  That should be "Terri Schiavo, dead at 26".

Just last week I was complaining that MySQL didn't pay me 1 billion dollars. Thanks MySQL!

Spanish often puts Es in front of words that start with S, for example: Latin "stare" -> estar status -> estado

Quite right, and it's a thing that is common at least on the Gallo-Iberian romanic branch.

I'm not sure how you call it in english, but since you seemed interested the general scheme for this phenomenon is (applied to Portuguese, but surely the same for Spanish and most likely French, Occitan, etc.) that the consonant groups that begin with an improper S are prefixed with a protetic E , working as a support vowel. Hence all your examples (plus Fr. stella->étoilé, Po. spatio->espaço, etc).

However when they begin with SC followed by i or e, as in scientia, the S is dropped (again, probably appliable to the Gallo-Iberian branch). So, while in english it's science, it's ciência, cience, etc. in the romance languages that evolved this way.

I know you didn't ask for this sort of abuse, but hey, you started it :)

Disculpado Gringo...

MiEsql sounds more like "mi escuela", meaning my school. Which probably is appropriate since almost everybody is learning db programming on mysql.

I always figured it was "ciencia" because S and C are such similar sounds and tend to blend together... I'm not an expert on linguistics or Romance languages, just a university student with an informal interest in them.
