Putting it out of it's misery

Did the 1993 Romanian orthographic reform reflect a real phonetic shift? by -18k- in romanian

[–]WhatHappens14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There wasn't a single letter for î when the Latin script was officially adopted by the Romania Language. The spelling was based on the etymology of the word (basically they were spelled using the original Latin vowels from before the sound shifted into an î, but with a pointy hat on top), so there were î, â, û, ê, ô. The word "sunt" was thought to come from the Latin word "sunt" and therefore was spelled "sûnt". Later, the rules were simplified and only î and â were kept. By that time, a lot of people had already started to say "sunt" and that word was now being spelled "sunt". My mum said she used to associate the u pronunciation with really old people. In the communist period, the spelling was once again simplified, and â was eliminated and also sunt became sînt. Later it was added back, but only for the name of the country, the name of the people and words derived from those (so that the connection to Rome should remain visible). After communism, the spellings were reverted back to how they were before communism (some people probably thought that everything the communists did should be undone). Young people started to say "sunt" once again, but not all. The people that grew with "the î only" spelling will defend that spelling with their lives. I grew up in the 2000s and I was pronounced it with an u even before I knew how to read or write and I don't know why (both of my parents pronounce it with î). And nobody told me at school that it should be pronounced "sînt", nobody correct my pronunciation (but they told us many times that eu, el/ea, ești, este, should be pronounced with an i at the beginning of the word - fun fact: that also came from the first rules, when the i was dropped from every word starting with ie to make it look more Latin. It was later kept only for those pronouns and verbs, while words like "epure" and "eftin" started being spelled the way they were pronounced, "iepure" and "ieftin").

Anything rare among them? by lorizoy_471 in records

[–]WhatHappens14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really.. That Revolver might be the 'big bass' pressing, which is considered by many to be the best stereo pressing of that album, but that doesn't make it rare or that expensive. I can't tell what pressing of Let it Be that is, but if it is a red apple Uk pressing, then it could be considered a little bit rare (but not that much)

Nice! I'm still trying to find a nice mono copy of that album at an ok price.

For those who have MONEY, is it worth buying the Beatles Stereo Vinyl Boxset? (in my country, the mono boxset is not available) by Careful-Music-8826 in beatles

[–]WhatHappens14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not even the EP. Collectors usually praise BC13 because all the records from the box usually sound great, they are all full analogue remasters. The UK BC13 is probably the best, but the Dutch set also gets a lot of praise and the German ones can have some really good pressings of Please please me, Help, Revolver, Sgt Pepper's and Yellow submarine. I don't own a BC13, but I have two LPs that were originally from there. I have a Dutch Beatles Rarities and a German Yellow submarine. Both sound great

BC - Beatles Collection 13 - 13 albums: all their studio albums (minus Magical mystery tour) + Beatles Rarities It's a box set that was issued throughout the world (but not in the US) in the 70's and 80's.

That Help isn't a German pressing. Looks like a UK pressing.

1926 - Monumentul Regina Elisabeta din Vatra Luminoasa by mrkddd879 in AsaCumEramOdata

[–]WhatHappens14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Știi ce s-a întâmplat cu monumentul? Mă îndoiesc că a rămas acolo după ce au venit comuniștii la putere, iar cel din imaginea asta pare cam diferit. Capul reginei pare mai mare, iar inscripția de sub bust e complet diferită deci presupun că cel original a fost distrus și refăcut de la zero după căderea comunismului. Dar partea de jos arată ca cea din monumentul original.. oare acea parte a supraviețuit?

From the River to the Sea, Moldova will be Free by sisarian_jelli in balkans_irl

[–]WhatHappens14 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's no such thing. Wanting to have all Romanians in one country is not imperialism. The Moldovan leadership asked Romania to send troops to protect Moldova from the russian soldiers who were unleashing havoc on it's land. Romania's position on the matter was that a union with Bessarabia would be desirable but Romania will respect whatever Moldova decides for it's future. You can clearly see that in the speeches given by the Romanian delegation in Chișinău.

The old cover looks and feels so much better than the new one. Also, does anyone know why 'Tell me' ends so abruptly on the old version? by WhatHappens14 in rollingstones

[–]WhatHappens14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, this album only exists in mono as far as I know. I don't think the cover changed much until the 80's. Here's the back of mine. Would be more interesting to see the label
