IIRC, the number of "n"s was the issue. Joel Send a noteboard - 17/11/2010 01:06:24 AM
All neutral words, such as those ending in -um, have a plural on -a in the nominative and accusative. In Latin and in Greek.

However, if my recollection of the conversation were vivid we wouldn't be having this one. ;)

Well, I'm hoping I simply disagree with your diction rather than your motives. Joel - 14/11/2010 03:36:57 PM 878 Views

When you give me an example of Jefferson murdering women and children that analogy will work. Joel - 15/11/2010 01:49:04 PM 859 Views
yes because Jefferson was a PARAGON of virtue himself LadyLorraine - 15/11/2010 02:17:58 PM 947 Views
I wasn't aware I'd made that statement. Joel - 15/11/2010 02:25:27 PM 773 Views
nvm, I was going to argue but I have decided not to *NM* LadyLorraine - 15/11/2010 07:46:42 PM 481 Views
So you are being completely subjective here? It is wrong, unless it is for a cause you support? *NM* snoopcester - 15/11/2010 02:30:37 PM 406 Views
No, it's a question of precedence. Joel - 15/11/2010 04:13:04 PM 785 Views
government as a social contract is an opinion. LadyLorraine - 15/11/2010 07:47:57 PM 847 Views
Government as social contract is accepted everywhere political power doesn't come out of a gun. Joel - 15/11/2010 09:26:19 PM 988 Views
His analogy works very well, and you are still being subjective. (beat.) - 15/11/2010 08:23:25 PM 1023 Views
The precedence is inherent in the statement; that was Jeffersons point. Joel - 15/11/2010 09:17:01 PM 1008 Views

I'm sorry, at what point did he say he wished to overturn social contract philosophy? LadyLorraine - 16/11/2010 01:47:49 AM 793 Views

Re: uhm, which "he" are we speaking of here? Joel - 16/11/2010 04:58:12 PM 997 Views
dude, so your issue is that you're afraid the CIA is going to show up on your door? LadyLorraine - 16/11/2010 05:01:38 PM 898 Views

No, its relevancy is difficult to grasp. (beat.) - 16/11/2010 07:19:11 AM 1126 Views
Maybe I just have an unusual perspective. Joel - 16/11/2010 04:15:39 PM 945 Views
I didn't know they bombed a SCHOOL!!! LadyLorraine - 16/11/2010 04:31:24 PM 825 Views
Please. If there were any soldiers in the WTC on 911 it was coincidental. Joel - 16/11/2010 04:40:51 PM 823 Views
perhaps, but not all important targets are military targets. LadyLorraine - 16/11/2010 04:57:20 PM 1003 Views
Not all important targets are LEGITIMATE targets either. Joel - 16/11/2010 05:06:11 PM 826 Views

Those last sentences are going way overboard. Legolas - 16/11/2010 05:08:40 PM 831 Views
Terrorism is inexcusable and indefensible, but at least there's a LOGIC to it. Joel - 16/11/2010 05:21:15 PM 918 Views
First of all, your generalizations were misguided. Legolas - 16/11/2010 05:40:55 PM 940 Views
Of course I disagree, but that's a different and older debate. Joel - 16/11/2010 11:10:23 PM 1113 Views
I will try to be brief. Try. Legolas - 16/11/2010 11:28:28 PM 919 Views

"Treason never prospers, what's the reason? If it prospers, none dare call it treason". Joel - 16/11/2010 11:30:55 PM 874 Views
I agree with the title - that seems to be a good quote to define when treason stops becoming treason snoopcester - 16/11/2010 11:39:37 PM 866 Views
Treason is always treason, Pope just had a wry wit. Joel - 17/11/2010 12:27:29 AM 844 Views

I prefer "millennia" but recall someone telling me that's not technically right. Joel - 16/11/2010 05:32:34 PM 818 Views
well, in American English, they're apparantly both "correct" *NM* LadyLorraine - 16/11/2010 06:13:40 PM 517 Views
In American English, almost anything is. Joel - 17/11/2010 01:02:15 AM 888 Views
It is right. It's the one thing that's easy in Latin and Greek declensions. Legolas - 16/11/2010 06:33:12 PM 818 Views
You call then "neutral" over there? Interesting. *NM* Ghavrel - 16/11/2010 06:42:00 PM 514 Views
Neutral, neutrum, neuter, whatever. Details. *NM* Legolas - 16/11/2010 06:45:29 PM 458 Views

Yes. I think so, anyway - been a good while since I had Latin. Legolas - 16/11/2010 07:12:09 PM 872 Views
Thanks. Maybe that's what I'm remembering. Sareitha Sedai - 16/11/2010 07:17:05 PM 857 Views
