Montherlant article

Many thanks for editing my article – as I see there were quite a number of mistakes in it :( I do not, however, agree with you in two points, the choice of quotations marks – ', " are an abomination, and in French you use guillemets «» – and the capitalization of Abbé de Pradts. This is against my deepest convictions, I'am afraid.

The problem with the quotation marks is, of course, that they are not easily available on keyboards. However, there are some workarounds. One way is to put a selection on one's personal page – from where one can copy-and-paste them, another to modify the keymap. I happen to have, »« on my keybord, and for a while, I even had ›‹, „“, ‚‘, “”, and ‘’ – no idea where it came from or why it went ;-) Alas, I did not yet proceed in this direction (editing my keymap).

I am rather sure that one should write abbé de Pradts, it's a question of taste, of course, but if in doubt, be conventional.

The article is far from complete, as boywiki disappeared suddenly; now I'd have to brace myself for looking through dusty stacks of paper for the material I collected (and, alas, I have no longer a research library within easy reach). Ahzee 20:41, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
