[QUOTE]Originally posted by Belisarius [B]About the translators; online translators are about as good as the people writing them. Never trust one. :) I can have loads of fun chunking a text in Swedish into one, translate it to English and laugh at the results. :p Sooooo....BERNIE.... YOU know Latin, eh? :p :rolleyes: [/B][/QUOTE] I wouldn't say I [I]know[/I] latin, but I've dabbled in it. A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I was a Catholic altar boy, and the mass was done in latin. When I was a freshman in college I took a semester in latin as an "easy" way to meet my language requirement. Turned out to not be as easy as I thought it would be, prior altar boy experience didn't help. I switched to Yiddish the next semester, squeaked through that with a 2.6, then went back to French for my sophmore year (I'd taken French in high school, junior high, and my Mom is French Canadien, but I hate the language). When I failed French I finally broke down and submitted my military disability papers to the department head (I'm partially deaf from an incident involving a 3" gun and no earplugs, and another involving a "suspicious" package left on board my ship during an open house) and she waived my language requirement.
