Here's a thread from another board about Egeria, a 4th or 5th century travel writer whose Latin was well on the way to becoming something else. http://forums.about.com/ab-ancienthist/messages?msg=2318.1 Bingley

Sorry about that Max. They seem to have changed their forum entry requirements. They used to be more public. Here is a link to another page about Egeria, although this one plays down the differences between Egeria's language and Classical Latin emphasised in the other reference: http://www.owu.edu/~o5medww/egeria/In the ancient history's public area they have an article this week about the etymology of geometrical terms. The article itself is pretty basic but some of the links look interesting. http://ancienthistory.about.com/library/weekly/aa030601a.htm And for our young canine, they have a list of distance learning Latin courses (some online) http://ancienthistory.about.com/cs/correspcourses/index.htm Bingley

I checked the last of the url 's Bingley cited. Its content is typified by the following, its first clickable entry (emphasis added): Scientific Greek and Latin / Study of scientific and technical terminology derived from Greek and Latin, with primary emphasis on medical language and terminology. (For UNL students, this course does not apply to the liberal education requirements in the College of Arts and Sciences.) / 4 assignments, 2 examinations / Syllabus $23 / McCulloch, J. A. A Medical Greek and Latin Workbook. Charles C. Thomas, 1984 $45 / Tuition: $230.00 / Materials: $68.00
I am not offended. But to those who took violent offense at a like course-announcement, made by goldibear: is your position, in this thread, consistent?

Probably lots (like me) will have not had their face rubbed in it, because we did not pursue it unless specifically interested. For me, it's the difference of being told in conversation about an interesting book with the publishing details being included, compared to the rabid marketeers' ravings of the Book of the Month Clueless Club Clan.

So you're saying it's OK to continue a thread but not to start one.

Mav, Faldage, thank you for helping to separate out two separate questions that had become tangled.
One is the question of the propriety/impropriety of an announcement such as goldibear's. It is good of you to put your discussion here, as above, to help keep it unentangled with the other question.
The second question -- the propriety/impropriety of the responses made to such impropriety as goldibear committed -- can productively continue, separately, in the "course announcement" thread, so that the two issues do not become confused.

Well, I'm sorry if anyone was offended. I simply saw the list of courses and thought "Jacobus Canis might be interested in these". To be honest, I didn't follow any of the links myself but I can't say I'm shocked to hear that people are charging for courses.
In my own defence, I will say, I think there's a difference between saying "Here is a directory of courses" to someone who has expressed an interest in such a course and saying "Roll up, roll up, come to my course."
