Well, unless they're illegal aliens. In which case, we should call them very fine illegal aliens. On Aug 13, 10:16 pm, "Frisbee?" <billLASTN...@yahoo.com> wrote: > >I want to be nice.

Or perhaps the father of elementary school children... No kidding, I'm amazed at how much I've forgotten from school. In third grade, the kids were expected to identify the subjects and predicates of sentences, and I look at my wife and say "WTF is a predicate?" I honestly could not remember. So I had to re-learn third grade stuff so I could guide my boys with their homework. You know, I'm -still- not 100% certain what a predicate is, but I've figured out that you find the subject, and everything that is NOT the subject is the predicate.

My mother was always telling me how she took Latin in school and how well she had done. I asked her for help and was furious when she told me she "couldn't remember." I now look back at the times when I couldn't remember the answers to my children's home work and say "mea culpa".

About all I remember of it was the inscription by a previous student on the fly-leaf of my much-recycled through many students Latin Primer: Latin is a language as dead, as dead can be it killed the Ancient Romans and now it's killing me Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia. d&e, metformin 1500mg, ezetrol 10mg Everything in Moderation - Except Laughter. -- http://loraltraveloz.blogspot.com/ latest: Mossman Gorge in the Daintree Rainforest http://loraldiabetes.blogspot.com/ latest: Self-Testing and Type 2 Management >>When I was in high school, I was having trouble with some Latin homework. >>My [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Cheers, Alan, Some schools require children to study Latin. It's impossible to live in this country without knowing Latin. If a child learns nothing else in school, Latin will ensure their successful future. Just think back over today... could you have survived the day without your knowledge of Latin? See, all those miserable hours of studying Latin instead of something even remotely usable really paid off, didn't they. John > Some schools require children to study Latin.

Hi John, I know you must be sarastically joking. But really, a knowledge of Latin has been a life-saver for me in a multitude of ways, all my life.... It helped me with French, Spanish, and Italian, but more than that, it has helped me in my legal career, and it has helped me in my study of the classics. It really has been a plus, being able to read and understand some of the great writers of Western Literature in their original language.... One of my party tricks is to recite in Latin from the Anaeid. ;-) I think learning Latin is just as important as learning how to read music.... Just one old fool's opinion. For those who do not want to take the trouble, they are consigning themselves to a realm of ignorance, of which they do not have even the capacity to apprehend. It is a little like trying to explain the color "blue" to someone who does not have the ability to see colors. Will, T2 Like ... Latin America ? Ohhh, I do hate myself for that one ...

Actually, yes - besides, I loved it and was really good at it :D It's great for spelling, for etymology, for languages... even computer languages, given its structure. I'm making my kids learn it, even though it's not on the school curriculum any more. Nicky.

Cool idea - but the eldest leaves high school the September after next, wouldn't want to rock any boats now. She's going to do the International Baccalaureate instead of A levels, and wants to do either Latin or Japanese for the language component : ) Nicky.

I hope you feel that way tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that, forever and a day. You will achieve more with honey, including higher bgs than you will with vinegar. Loretta |
