Created FAC from original nomination here - clear descriptions of the sounds, understandable by laymen (non-linguists). Shows how the language spread. Uses public figures to illustrate the varieties of speech. 169.207.90.173 10:35, 24 Oct 2003 (UTC) -- It was thrilling to learn that the rhotic accent was in fact the accent of 1600-era English, and which survives as the standard Midwestern accent of the US. 169.207.85.74 13:32, 26 Oct 2003 (UTC)

The prose in this informative article seems to flow very naturally considering it has had 20 or more different contributors. No glaring omissions spring to mind either. (Full disclosure: I added one sentence to the article in one minor edit sometime ago, however the credit for this article belongs to several major contributors, I am not one of these).

The quote by Andrew Dickson White seriously distorts the position of the Church and particularly of Cardinal Bellarmine, whom he caricatures as "by far the most terrible champion" of anti-scientific dogmatism who "insisted on making science conform to Scripture." On the contrary, Bellarmine went out of his way to conciliate Galileo. His Letter to Fr Foscarini, which was intended primarily for Galileo, said: "If there were a real proof that the Sun is in the centre of the universe, that the Earth is in the third sphere, and that the Sun does not go round the Earth but the Earth round the Sun, then we should have to proceed with great circumspection in explaining passages of Scripture which appear to teach the contrary, and we should rather say that we did not understand them than declare an opinion to be false which is proved to be true. But I do not think there is any such proof since none has been shown to me." Galileo merely replied that it was pointless giving proofs because his opponents would not be able to understand them. Bellarmine's attitude was actually more scientific, as the term is understood today, than Galileo's.
