[T]he origin of the word "Slav" remains controversial. In Slavic languages that word is "Slowianie", "Slovene", or
something similar, with obvious similarities to word
slowo or slovo meaning "word". Slowianie would
mean "people who can speak", as opposed to the Slavic word for Germans, "Niemcy", that is, "dumb", "people who cannot speak"
(compare the Greek coinage of the term "barbarian"). Another obvious similarity
links "Slavs" to the word slawa or slava, that is "glory" or "praise" (with a root in common with
slowo - someone glorious has a word, a tale, spreading about him). Some linguists believe, however, that these obvious
connections mislead, despite the early translation of the Greek word orthodoxos ("Correct/right", "glorifying/praising")
having its equivalent in pravoslavni with pravo meaning "right" or "correct" and slavni meaning "those
who praise" or "those who glorify" [God].
It is believed that the English word "slave" has its root (from Latin Sclavus and Greek Sklabos) in the
Slavic ethnonym, because in the early middle ages Slavs were often used as
slaves. See this external etymology
Except that I am a vegetarian and I don't object to hunting. I think that hunting is the best way to procure animal products - don't know how economically viable it would be on a large scale but as DABANSHEE says above our stations here in.au are prolly the next best thing. I also believe that Homo sapiens omnivori should learn to hunt and butcher - like if I got stuck out in the bush with a lot of the people I know I would probably end up doing a lot of the `dirty' work. Anyway, some insightful omnivores here in this thread. Cheers.

I concede, it's inexcusable to misspell qwerty.
The only thing they spelled incorrectly was Dvorak (so they missed a ' in what's) and it's not like it's a common word, Arse.

Sorry but I couldn't find any reference to a Firefox extension for language education. Can someone point me in the right direction?
If you don't know and have access to a Windows system, look at the timezone tab on the date and time control. Hint: the Baltic Sea is way too big.
No, I have FF 1.0, dom.disable_window_open_feature.location set, pop-ups blocked and it still fails the test.
Why don't more people put syllable boundary markers in their phonetic transcriptions?
