Answer A: Who should the temporary moderators be?
Please welcome your two new moderators, Moshi and Jirka Hanika‭. If the community wants more moderators later (or the existing mods want help), just start a discussion so the community can decide what to do.

Comment Post #277071 @Conrado‭ the vision will likely evolve over time, and we can adapt as the community's wishes change. There was discussion on the [proposal for this community](https://meta.codidact.com/questions/276701), and now that the community exists, this Meta category is the best place to continue those discu...

Answer A: Bug or license issue with imported post from SE?
Thank you for raising this question. This post didn't use Codidact's import script; it was manually copied here. If the person is the same user as on the other site, that's kosher -- you always own your own work and can repost it anywhere else without any licensing considerations. While not defi...

Question Who should the temporary moderators be?
As we have set up communities here on the Codidact network we've been appointing temporary moderators. Ultimately, of course, we want each community to choose its own moderators; we've been doing this as a stopgap, while communities are forming, so Codidact staff don't have to handle all the flags (...

Question Why do certain Hebrew letters have alternate final forms?
Five Hebrew letters -- כ‎, מ‎, נ‎, צ‎, and פ‎ -- have different forms when at the end of a word. I have heard that this is true for certain letters in Arabic too, though I don't know if they're the "matching" letters. My question is about Hebrew, though Arabic might be related. Why do any letter...

Comment Post #278875 Is the difference between the two "already"? (My high-school Spanish isn't good enough for this.) I don't see that in the Hebrew original, for what that's worth.

Question Primary clause uses singular, subordinate co-reference is plural, what verb to use in English?
I sometimes find myself writing sentences with subordinate clauses where there is number mismatch between the primary and subordinate clauses. For example: > The oath he swore, those words about serving all the people and not just the favored ones, (was | were) just fluff to him. The general r...

Answer A: Is posting links to commercial content as part of a resource post allowed?
Speaking personally (I haven't consulted anybody else on the team), I don't see why this would be a problem so long as there's nothing sneaky or sketchy going on. Not all resources are freely available online; if a book is relevant, I think a link is more helpful than just a citation. Amazon migh...

Comment Post #277281 @user53100 I was focused there on resource lists, but I don't see why the category couldn't have multiple posts per language if they're for different purposes. A list of resources for learning a language is different from a description of a grammatical element (like the system of *binyanim* in Hebre...

Question How do I pronounce historical French correctly from times when the language was in transition?
I sing in a choir that performs medieval and renaissance music in several languages I don't otherwise speak. When we are unclear about pronunciation, we look for recordings from reputable performers -- but this doesn't always work, and anyway I would like to better develop skill instead of just look...

Question How were ת & ט pronounced historically?
In Sephardi or Israeli Hebrew today, ט and ת are pronounced the same, at least to my non-native ear, something like /t/. In Ashkenazi Hebrew, on the other hand, sometimes ת is pronounced like ס (samech), /s/. Was there a pre-modern time when they were pronounced differently? If so, how? I'm wo...

Answer A: Are resource requests on-topic?
Suggestion (based on a comment discussion on another answer): create a category called "resources" or "wiki" or something similar. In this category, use the article type (not Q&A). Create one article per language for useful resources for that language. Treat these as community-maintained articles,...

Comment Post #277086 If you're thinking of this as answering resource-request questions, that sounds to me like it should be part of the general Q&A category. On the other hand, if you're thinking of *cultivating* a set of resources, an on-site library or wiki or something, that would make sense as a separate category, ...

Comment Post #277108 @Moshi thanks; a dictionary entry is helpful. I see that says it's British informal English. Are there others too or just "I'd've"? I'm curious about the pattern (if there is one).

Comment Post #277108 @DonielF I write like this casually, but sometimes comment on it being quirky and I don't know that I've seen it outside of casual writing (like chat and email), and that got me wondering if it's a niche quirk or more widespread/accepted.
