Re: Redirecting alternate spellings of the same word
WP:REDIR should have the information you're looking for. :) In short, a redirect is a blank page with only the text  . Happy editing. Luna Santin 19:45, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Kgotso, ntate McDonald.

Thanks for your input at the Sesotho talk page. I guess it really does depend on one's experiences but I do believe that there are numerous rational justifications to use the names "Sesotho" and "Basotho" (eg. ambiguity of "Sotho" which could refer to half a dozen different things) but I feel that the most important reason is that one should use the original form of the native name instead of arbitrarily modifying it (especially for a name which is not commonly used by average English speakers).

I am rather intrigued by how you peace corps guys manage to learn these languages so quickly and be able to use them in the countries.

What exactly do the peace corps do, exactly? Judging from the film "eLollipop" it appears that it's mainly an international volunteer organisation that goes to poor countries to attempt to uplift the people at grassroots level -- which sounds like a lot of fun (yes, I probably SHOULD take a look at the Wikipedia article and stop asking you this stuff).

I responded at my own talk page as I thought that might be more appropriate for this issue. Tebello TheWHAT!!?? 21:11, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
