What does "locus classicus" translate into? Secundum A-H: "A passage from a classic or standard work that is cited as an illustration or instance."
http://www.bartleby.com/61/56/L0225600.htmlClassicus means all kinds of things in Classical Latin: it means related to or of a
classis ('a division of the Roman people; fleet; army'), 'related to the fleet; first class'.
Now I don't know what 'mean' means... or do I.I've *had trouble with
mean since reading Ogden and Richards'

I like to use 'these' single quotes when emphasising a word or talking about a word as an object, whereas "these" double quotes are actually® quoting somone's usage.I like to use foot signs to delimit glosses: e.g., French
glas (< L.
classis) 'death knell'. And, I use inch signs to delimit direct quotations, e.g., X said "How classy.", but also as "scare" quotes. As for apostrophes and other kinds of curly quotes, I only use them wysiwyggily, like in a word processor.
'Actually' is actually® registered to tsuwm and its use is restricted (YCLIU). I was under the impression that you couldn't register a single English word as a trademark. But *cool! Besides, the TPO is closed on the weekends.
