In the time I studied Latin we either got the infinitive (ducere) or often 1st singlular present & the infinitive (duco, ducere).

And given the history of English, I (personally) have no problems with the mixing of roots from different cultures (esp. Latin & Greek since the Romans were greatly inspired but a lot of Greek).

As you may know Rein /= Reign /= Rain is one of my huge peeves (reign in your ___ really makes me twitch ... it took me 2 tries to even type it).

Like I said, it changes the nature of the story disturbingly.

Embarrassed at having forgotten to mention rein/reign, since I've seen it recently.

Thanks for the clue re: Latin.

My Latin textbook lists verbs using the four principal parts:

duco, ducere, duxi, ductum

Liber meus latinae verbas usundorum[*] quattuor principium partum dat.

Gods, I need to study for my exams.

[*] May be entirely wrong.

The textbooks do, but sometimes when doing translations they would give you the first 2 & definition for certain things. This came up a lot in college (I loved the professor that would give us something to translate. He provided us with any unusual words (meaning and basic forms) + any really bizarre things (contracted form/truly bizarre or obscure meaning) and would let us 'buy' other words (1 point for definition & the recognizable forms ... nom sing/gen sing for adjectives & nouns; first 2 parts for most verbs all 4 parts for some). I thought that was VERY fair of him.

I don't know if it's just me or if perhaps everyone else experiencing issues with your site. It appears as though some of the text in your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This may be a issue with my web browser because I've had this happen before. Appreciate it
