Asparagus - The names

For a look back in time at the situation in the 80’s - 90’s.

M.M.P.N.D. - Sorting Asparagus names

Most noticeable were the use of pict. to display names pre-Unicode fonts.

The relatively few languages treated. The less professional approach to botanical synonymy. The clumsy referencing of each word and its transliteration.

The vernacular is now cleaned up and thanks to ‘Wikipedia’ and ‘Google Translate’ the vocabulary is much expanded. I have also to admit that ‘Google A.I.’ and its ‘A.I. Translate’ device have proven to be far more useful than I expected only a few months ago, albeit not yet perfect translation tools but useful aids.

Thanks to  W.F.O. & P.O.W. the botanical synonymy is now covering the whole world rather than the old anglo-centric mix of the early 90’s.

We suggest displaying the old & the new version of this compilation on one screen in split- view mode and see what a few months worth of editing can do.
