Alphabetisation

In English, we usually list titles of books, albums, etc. without the words 'the' or 'a', to avoid overloading the T and A sections, respectively. For example, the book "The Maltese Falcon" would be listed as "Maltese Falcon, The" Do other languages have similar conventions?

Some languages do, other not...French, ("Les miserables") German, ("Die ersten Deutschen"), Romanian ("Soim(ul) Maltez") not .

eu, you make no sense. Clean up your style.

Franco, only God could establish if I make a sense or not...don't you think?

Why are you not concentrating yourself on the main subject only? You are not in measure to judge me, you don't realize that? Between us are hundreds of books and many, many years of school at all levels...


My style is simple...and this time I posted only for one reason: I wanted to give somebody an answer, an opinion...A person has put a question and nobody gave him an answer…I tried to say something showing him the attention he deserved; I didn't judge the subject at all...you just didn't understand all these and have chosen to be rude...I noticed that for you it is easier to be rude, than civilized, polite, isn't it? What a pitty! I feel sorry for you!

Well, what you said is grammatically incorrect. My fat wife can confirm that.

"some languages do, otherS DON'T".....

What is that "not" at the end supposed to be reffering to?

You see, I am not rude.

That can also be done in French.

"Misérables, les" or "Misérables (Les)"

Franco said:"What is that "not" at the end supposed to be referring to? "

That's a simple mistake, nothing related to my "Style" ....That "not" is a "rest" from a previous sentence what I first wrote and then deleted...but apparently not complete...I did see it but only after the post was launched. I didn't imagine that somebody will get upset by that; that's why I didn't come with any correction for it. I still think that you made a big deal of that!

Style and Rhythm are the most commonly miswritten words in the English language. As well as Arctic and Anarctica.

You're talking out of the ass, guest. Since when was style commonly miswritten? What a fool you are!
