:Regarding my use of sheep over lamb, I prefer it because I think that when one engages in translation he should be as literal as possible. The word which was translated by me into sheep (and to lamb by the KJV) was "keves" (כבש). Keves does not denote any age and can refer to all sheep regardless of whether or not they're mature. Since those verses didn't use the Hebrew word for lamb ("tale" טלה) I decided to translate it into sheep. When choosing between lamb or sheep one must consult the original text. For example, when young sheep are mentioned in 1 Samuel, they should be referred to as lamb in the translation, since Samuel does use the word "tale". Sorry for not replying to it earlier, I didn't even see that you asked me about it at any point. - [[User:Markman|Markman]] 17:25, 3 March 2013 (EST)

:: All your contributions seem to be fine, the problem with 90/10 is it doesn't take into account useful suggestions on talkpages or fixing up minor errors. I normally find it best to completely ignore talkpage edits under about 100 bytes as they are always just spelling, unfortunately it seems markman has not learned this yet.
