I wouldn't make any great claims as a linguist but if you can get a grasp of Latin you are half way to understanding most European and South American languages. There is no need to learn all the noun declensions or verb conjugations initially, just get a grasp on the roots and you are on your way. :) N :twisted: le in decline... Rod,

I did once try to learn Latin with the occasional telephonic part-time help of a good friend who was admirably versed in it . However him being MA Oxon I suspect the whole process was too painful for him ! So I Remain in Ignorance Yours Rod Neville,

Firstly, <i>free gratis</i> isn't saying 'free' twice, that is just modern usage that gives that impression. Gratis in Latin means given out of kindness or favour.

Of course, they wouldn't send him/her an invoice for it, (unless they were economically suicidal,) so it indeed would be free gratis. Second issue: Weather forcasts. Don't watch the TV ones they are more of a presenter's performance and too all embracing.
