"Apocalypsis" means "revelation". "Apocalypto" may mean "I reveal myself" literally. Is maybe Mel Gibson telling us he is revealing his deep thought? The epigraph by Will Durant would be an indication.

Okay, for people who ask for translations or language questions, does the "thumbs down" make you less likely to choose that answer as the best?

I was just thinking that the "thumbs down" can be more important in this section, because a translation is either right or wrong, so thumbs down could help someone to think that someone mistranslated. However, I have also noticed that many correct answers get thumbs down (from spiteful people?), so it can send a mixed signal.

What do you think? Is it helpful specifically in the Language section?

[meaning modern & sexy, usually refering to fashion items &/or overall appearance] If it is "chic", is there an Anglocized spelling... perhaps that is oxymoronic?

I'm going to get the spelling wrong but it is the word "Punome" and I've heard it before to replace the word "mouth". There is a scene in "meet the folkers" where Barbara Streisands character grabs and squeezes her son's face and says "look at the punome". Where does this word come from? Is it another language?

I am doing an internationalization and I want to know what date formats people actually use. I know about mm/dd/yyyy, dd/mm/yyyy, and yyyy/mm/ss (all with slashes). I am wondering if there are any others in common use.

I am particularly interested in the dot format: for example 12.25.2006. I see that used on lots of web sites, but I've never seen it used in "real life." Does any native culture use this kind of format, or is it just a format people use to look cool and technophilic?
