I find I use it mostly via science.
I am studying Evolutionary Biology, and find Ancient Greek useful for Physiogamy and Latin for Speciation.
About the only use left for them, other than appearing clever.

Hmmmmm, ya got me confused now Dave:
"Physiogamy means reading one's character by face and appearance"
What's that got to do with science? Sending me on a wild goose chase again?

Oh good grief.
Physiology!
What the hell is wrong with me today?

Show a little mercy, the poor chap just lost more than 1000 participant points, a platinum color, and about half of his vocabulary. A lesser person would be wasted, under the table, three sheets in the wind; Dave however is taking it with all the dignity that is left in him. And I trust he'll be back.

I remember the joys of translating Chaucer doing A-level English. The Canterbury Tales are far funnier in their original form, and it's amazing what a life Chaucer led. Spy, diplomat, playwright, lover...

Sadly, I only studied Latin. To this day, I still occasionally drop into "bam, bas, bat, bamus, batis, bant". This way me be why I find "Romanii eus Domunt" so funny.

"o table" Possibly the greatest Latin leading conversation of all time.

"Ite! Ite! Imperative!
Where? Where shall they go? "Ad domum"
Now write that one hundred times."
Still cracks me up!

That's better than what Google Translate comes up with. Add a little capitalization to the nouns and you'll be fine.

Apart from the plural in "the nouns" being a bit misleading, you are as usual correct in your assessment.

I lost quite a few points in some areas, but gained quite a few in others. Overall, I'm fairly happy. While some stuff went down, none of my statuses were reduced, but I did get an increase from bronze to silver author.

I'm back to bronze status in participants rep points.

I was platinum! What a fall that was.

Just think of all those milestone postings you can come up with again. Time to view this as an opportunity.

My opportunity was to get up to CG on Debator.
I have been put back quite a way!

Where did you see it was done? My chart-tab and about-tab show different values still, I assumed it wasn't done yet?

I said no such thing. That's the information I gleaned from previous threads about the ongoing recalcualtions. If you read all messages spawned below this post you'd see that we can't be sure that it's done until #1 (numero uno) tells us it is done.

Ah alright, all we need is just a little patience
