It's not that it isn't correct... it just prioritises etymology over original pronunciation (which is not an uncommon thing to do in Western Europe), because of the different ways the word Caesar evolved in the many European languages:
quote:
1555, from Rus. tsar, from Old Slavic tsesari, from Gothic kaisar, from Gk. kaisar, from L. Caesar. First adopted by Russian emperor Ivan IV, 1547.
So, all they did was keep the original "K" sound present in "Kaiser" (which was probably present in the original pronunciation of "Caesar"), and make it sound bit like the Russian word

Well then my kind fellow. I was unaware of this.

What? There's no "K" in that Slavic pronunciation. It's still a "C" sound, even if it begins with TS.

Anyone who doesn't have primary source evidence eg. experiencing or seeing something themself has the right not to beleive.
So if someone killed your grandma, I could deny it ever happened because I didn't live to see it?
Culture is developed so that humans can learn from historically primary sources through secondary sources. If you want to doubt insurmountable amounts of documents showing certain events did exist, then you have the right not to believe it, but likewise people with half a brain have the right to think that you're a fucking idiot.

No, that would be why history was developed. Culture predates recorded documentation.

Likewise, if I write down thousands of seemingly outlandish ideas that all correlate with one another, have I created the truth?

No I am still right.
Culture was used before documentations so that humans could learn vicariously instead of learning the hard way (in person). That's why language was developed, so mom could tell her son, "don't go into that forest because a lion will eat you." (as opposed to the son not knowing his mother has encountered lots of angry lions in the forest and he goes into the forest and gets his arm bit off). The same is true for documenting history, as you said. But that doesn't mean it's incorrect for culture.

Sorry but the Bible doesn't count as literal historical documentation.
So are you saying thousands of people testifying to witnessing or being in the holocaust was just a bunch of outlandish ideas that all correlate with one another? I suppose slavery was a hoax too. Why do black people believe in that fairy tale?
