Hello Alexander,

good that I did not have to ask that question :)

Apears to be somewhat german specific as we know this one as "Pharao".

But I asked google for both "Pharoah" and "Pharaoh" and got a whole lot of hits for both. So either it is common or synonym in english or it must be a well accepeted typo ?!?!?

... but I really like to know too.

Hi Alexander:

My complements to you on your English!!! The word is "Pharaoh", *not* "Pharoah".

Regards!

...Oh, how ironic. Shame on me! I meant to write "compliments" not "complements" !!!

Hi Alexander,

Well, lets see -- could a Pharoah be somebody who is *light in color* and whose name begins with *O*? As in, they are a fair O? Ouch. Actually, I think it is a product of the graphics application not having a spell check! :)

I've noted this oversight to our dev team. Good to see everyone has a sense of humor...or is that simply sarcasm? ;)

Regards,
Dan

Hi Alexander,

You are sharp! I have not noticed the difference. This is indeed enlightening.

Q: Why do you like the ITRC forums so much?
A: "... It helps brush up my English ..." :P

.. they `d have run it by Meriam Webster:
http://www.webster.com/cgi-bin/dictionary
Main Entry: pha?raoh [no occurence for the ITRC one]
Pronunciation: 'fer-(")O, 'far-(")O, 'fA-(")rO

[Duncan Edmonstone]

ANd I'm sure JRF will love this one:

Main Entry: 4Olympian
Function: noun
Date: 1843
1 : one of the ancient Greek deities dwelling on Olympus
2 : a being of lofty detachment or superior attainments

How lofty is your detachment Jim? :op

Hi all,

it took me allmost the whole weekend to find out the correct answer for this important question:

--> a "pharoah" is a kind of special dinosaur, which died out 125 million years before. These dinosaurs where known as extremly helpful and social creatures. But for the reason they helped other creatures the whole day and night, they had no time to eat something or even to take care of young pharoahs, they died all.... :-(

The ITRC- pharoahs seem to be the legal children of them. I just hope they don't make the same mistakes than their grandfathers. :-)


Allways stay on the bright side of life!

Hi to all

AS you are discussing Pharaoh and meanings

1. Is the Plural Phari or pharaohs?

2. Is it gender specific - ? Pharoah and Pharonina ?

3. Is the diminutive Pharinon and Pharini ?


??????

Hello Mr. Alexandre,

The only thing that I can tell you about a Pharoa is in Spanish the name is Faraon.

I think that all the Pharoas today is like a mummy!!

This must be the light-hearted post of the week.

Spelling is optional since 1990 when the latest generation of kids have gone to high school.

The language is getting more abused especially with the addition of ebonics and the latest slang words.
