Try, again, throwing your corrections at wikipedia. You see
what TinyUrl does to your mind, you've even forgot how to
parse a Url.

Using a name with a wrong spelling can happen, insisting it
is the right spelling without checking is a bit foolish. Have
you never heard people mention, that they are not glad with
wikipedia being treated as a scientific source, because of
the many faults?

When its the only source or the most informative source in
english I didn't want to push the issue because it appeared
that Peter was trying to pick a fight, I had hoped you would
have done more research before sticking Peter's foot in your
mouth.

Google:
18 for sauveterien
827 for Sauveterrian


The naming practice comes from France, you get the name by
adding a suffix -ien to a sitename.

If someone called your trade generics, would you point out the
mistake, or laugh about the fool?

Yeah, see above. Do you really learn no foreign languages in
the US?

That's a bigoted statement. We live close to the border with
Mexico so the primary foriegn language is spanish. There are
only residual traces of german speakers in Texas, most are
isolated in the Hill country and are of advanced age. The other
major languages spoken in our city is Cantonese and Urdu. It
would kind of be bigoted for me to insist that you know
spellings of obscure words in Urdu, don't you think?

If you'd lived in a more multilingual society, you would
probably have learned to check the spelling, especially when
using obscure technical terms in French. Or have the original
terms been replaced with Americanisms? :-)

Or it seems to me that Native English speakers care more about
frances mesolithic than french do. Even french have commented on
the lack of published information. BTW, unless the word has an S in
front of a Z, its and AngliZation, I suspect alot of English and
Irish Authors have recoined the work simply to compare their
results. I can see people going to meetings and scribbling down
what some french archaeologist has to say about work he did 20
years ago but forgot to publish.

I have no problem using the indigeonous words, google is very
happy to declare when it has a better spelling. Problem is that the
indigeonous words didn't work. Why don't you encourage your french
counterparts to publish their mesolithic site studies and tell em
some american fools are interested in their archeobotanical
analyses at same said sites. Tell them they can drive the americans
nuts if the publish in a french journal. I'm game.

Just take a look at the other post on Ireland, How many published
papers did I run into in very short order with rather descriptive
surveys and arguments and counter arguments. Ireland is an obscure
outpost of the mesolithic, and yet . . . .. I won't tell you whats
wrong with archaeology if you tell me what is right, first :^).
Hey, you'll be happy to note that at least one of the papers on
Ireland mentioned cairns in passing, heh-heh. Also neolithic
housing in Ireland and differences with England.
