::The way I would put it is: Letter J is a Latin letter, though this particular letter, which was added late in the middle ages, aquired a great variety of correct ways to pronounce it in Latin ranging from "dz" to "i-consonant". This wide range of correct pronounciation makes it convenient when writing foreign and technical words whose sounds do not correspond exactly to the sounds of classic latin speech; on the other hand J is superfluous for spelling words of purely latin origin.--[[Usor:Rafaelgarcia|Rafaelgarcia]] 15:10, 13 Novembris 2009 (UTC) |

Emendatio ex 09:37, 14 Novembris 2009
Name
I think we've agreed (somewhere ...) that we would retain the letter j when it is part of a scientific name, because this is the standard scientific orthography and we shouldn't change it. So I've reverted Xaverius's move today. If I'm mistaken, please tell me! Andrew Dalby 12:40, 13 Novembris 2009 (UTC)
- Whether anybody agreed or not, it seems the right thing to do; otherwise, biologists & others unfamiliar with the convention that J = I will be confused. If, however, Vicipaedia decreed that all jays would become eyes (giving us oddities like President Andreas Iackson, the writer Henricus Iames, the unit of measurement known as the ioulium, and that famously untranslatable dance the iitterbug), then maybe it'd be OK.
