GAH!

And of all the days for me NOT to watch Jeopardy!

I wonder what the questions were. Maybe I could've answered them.

The ones I can remember:

- the commonly accepted meaning of 'exempli gratia' (for example)
- the first-person form of the Latin verb for 'to be' (sum)
- the Latin word for mountain, as used in the names of Martian volcanoes (mons)

Unfortunately, my mind can't think of what the other two were. I'm racking my brain, and it seems to have hit a bad sector... :)

Umm.. Something about, verbs come in these different things, and the question was case. I don't remember the fifth one.. I got them all right at home, though!

[conuly]

But verbs don't come in cases. They come in conjugations. NOUNS have five cases (but they come in declensions).

Woops, neurons misfiring. I was thinking of tenses; the example they used was indeed nouns.. Unless my brain melted again and I'm misremembering even now.

It won't be on here for another half hour... want me to see if I can tape it for you and mail you the tape or something?

[conuly]

No, thanks. That's a little too obsessive for me.

Okie ^-^ I just figured I would offer to use my super-time-travelling powers to help =D

Nifty.

I must admit I was more interested by the link pointing back (to the left) at the top though - supporting more characters in web addresses so languages that don't use the Latin alphabet can have familiar urls. Very interesting (and might I just say yay for my browser already supporting it *hugs Mozilla, except that this evening it's completely and utterly refusing to load so I'm having to use IE*)

The article in the other direction was quite interesting too.

Both were certainly more interesting than the essay I'm writing ("comedy is the best form to disrupt representations of the real, whoop-de-do" *nods*)

Oh and if you get my email (sent to the account listed on your userinfo) feel free to ignore it - in today's meeting it was decided to take the project in a completely different direction *sighs*
