Subject: [PATCH 0/1] NEWS: Avoid the words "nominative" and "genitive".
Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2018 09:44:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1656545809.435941.1532684630776@poczta.nazwa.pl> (raw)
Shouldn't we avoid the terms "nominative" and "genitive" when
referring to the support of two grammatical forms of month names?
As an example, a Scottish Gaelic translator told me that their grammar
rules call these cases "nominative" and "possessive". Unfortunately,
I don't remember where this was said and whether it was a private
email or a public list.
Additionally, there are languages where the genitive case exists but
it is incorrect to use it when formatting a date.
Thoughts? Carlos?
Regards,
Rafal
