I got 161, and I did have to guess quite a few.
Tolerable for a non-native, I'd say.

I really need to read up my latin.

I should have thought a medicinare has an extensive command of latin...

Oh, yes. Whatever relates to body parts.

I did take a short Latin course back in "high school," focusing entirely on the use of Latin (and Greek) in science, medicine and law. Of course, we did some ethymology, too. Reading this, I realise it was a very long time ago.

Yeah, but all the Latin I know is, "Ita, nos habemos non ullas bananas."

No, that's not quite true, there's also "Cogito ergo ..." sumthing or other. Oh, right! "Cogito ergo oblivio!"

(Okay, I do know a little more than that, but I would've done better on that if the Greek to Latin ratio had been higher.)

Then, there's always "Semper ubi sub ubi,"[1] and I think you were present at that discussion somewhere. [livejournal.com profile] browngirl's journal?

[1] Which I didn't know before, because it's not a pun in Swedish.

And then there's "Draco dormiens nunquam titilliandus."

Sound advice, I say.

More than slightly, I'd say. I'd compliment you, if you could take it. And my English is native. Having read your writing, can I say I'm not surprised? You impress me. Not an easy thing to do.
