I see that an edit you made to the article Dies Irae has been reverted. Your edit summary said "Someone misspelled Jesus", and you replaced "Jesu" with "Jesus". However, that was not a misspelling. "Jesu" is a vocative form of the name, introduced into English and a number of other languages from Latin, which took it from Greek. "Vocative" means that is is used when the name is being used in addressing Jesus. Also, when text is quoted, it should be given exactly as in the source it is cited from, even if that source does contain an error, so a quote should not be "corrected" without first checking the source to see what it actually said.

By the way, does Czech have a vocative case? I know some Slavonic languages do. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 21:49, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

I hope I'm doing this right. Any, thanks for remark, JamesBWatson. I'm still pretty new to Wikipedia, and after I made that correction, I realized what was meant with the vocative case. I meant afterwards to change it back, but something came up and someone else reverted it before I could change it. So I just let it be. As with the Czech saying I have, it could be vocative, but I don't really speak Czech. I just put that there because I have my own sense of humor. If you know if it does, let me know and I'll change it thusly. Byzantium555 (talk) 22:13, 17 November 2015 (UTC)Byzantium555
