Disputatio:Leonhardus Eulerus

Reverti hanc recensionem ab usore incognito factam; ille male dicit, quia inusitatius vel pravum in encyclopaedia est scribere "dicitur +acc+inf" (it is said that...X is Y = anglicismus) (who said???) quamquam bene est scribere "nominativus dicitur nominativus" (X is said to be Y) (dicitur = linking verb).

Probe dicis, amice. Bradley's Arnold, #44: "For 'There is a tradition that Homer was blind,' we may say either Traditur Homerus caecus fuisse, or Tradunt Homerum caecum fuisse, but not Traditur Homerum caecum fuisse." Ignotus autem usor 66.177.36.232 ait: "Necesse est verbo 'Eulerus' esse 'Eulerum' quod verbum 'Eulerum' constructio recta est. 'Eulerum' subiectum dicti indirecti, ergo necesse est 'Eulerum' accusativum esse." Sed secundum Bradley's Arnold, illud exemplum est falsum: nobis licet scribere Dicitur Eulerus vel Dicunt Eulerum, sed non Dicitur Eulerum. IacobusAmor 00:51, 10 Iunii 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Saepe unus ex ... habetur"

Do we really need "saepe"?

No, we don't. As such, "saepe ... habetur" looks like being a roundabout way to say that there are people who don't consider Euler one of the greatest, but there are certainly more direct expressions to that effect. Neander (disputatio) 08:05, 27 Octobris 2023 (UTC)[reply]
