Does anyone know why the film is called The Bridge on the River Kwai and the book on which it was based The Bridge over the River Kwai? Why would the preposition be so significant as to warrant a change? Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 05:30, 18 March 2008 (UTC))
In case anyone's interested, Boulle's book was based on real events but shamelessly distorted part of the truth about the building of the Burma Railway bridge over the Khwae Yai River... in particular, transferring the spirit of collaboration from French officers to an invented Englishman: l'ennemi héréditaire strikes again! To counter some of the misinformation in the film, see Philip Toosey. Xn4 18:30, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the input ... I guess it makes sense. But .... in terms of marketing, are there significantly different marketing concerns for a book versus a film? If so, what? In other words, if the preposition "over" is too klunky / non-poetic of a title for a film, it is equally so for the book ... and should have concerned the book publishers, just as it did the film producers ... no? Thanks. (Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 06:15, 19 March 2008 (UTC))
Am I correct in thinking that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is actually a common noun, not a proper noun? Unlike, say, the United States of America or the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which contain specific geographical referents. Although the term Soviet came to be treated as a proper noun, is it not originally a common noun? Is there any other example of a state with a common noun as its name, or whose name was originally a common noun? Lantzy talk 17:00, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Meanwhile — I've heard that in Hindi the numbers up to 99 have been so strongly affected by sandhi (and not regularized by analogy) that one has to learn them separately; where might one look for a list, either in Devanāgarī or transliterated? —Tamfang (talk) 04:30, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
You are my hero ARTYOM, as you gave the correct answer. I got 23,124 in my own calculations and was clever enough to try subtracting 1000 from it to take out the newlines, but I forgot my good old Windows version of *nixy word counter wc expects one byte new lines (lf) instead of the Windows style two byte (cr-lf) new lines, so all the new lines get doubled. Thanks! --212.149.216.233 (talk) 05:22, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
