I think.

As I told Dr. Bill, I've used my little Latin dictionary more in the last week than in the last 20 years!

So I wondered if the etymology had anything to do with time. Apparently not.But in looki;ng a discovered an inpressive site which set out to cover all of the humanities. But there had been no posts in the etymology part since 2000. I'll go back and get URL and add it in case anybody wants to browse that site. I had problems wwith navigation there, so didn't get to see any of the posts. http://www.humanityquest.com/ Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Page 4 of 4 1 2 3 4 Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
