>> You mean in the sense that "prevaricator" doesn't really mean "liar"? No, it doesn't. I thought, however, taht we were talking declensions.

But DO give me your take on this, Cicero


It means "liar" but not in classical Roman Latin. I remember Latin mainly through its vocabulary, not its inflected structure. Give me a few weeks and I could get into it again, but the vocabulary part is what endures.

My take is that you are a "nitpicker" constantly scrutinizing me for the rare nit-opening to launch a disproportionate broadside, a nitwitticism criticism. Yesterday it was "demagogued", even though I did not consider it proper usage, it is considered a verb and proper at the online Merriam Webster.

Message 4105276 Frankly I don't really care that you didn't but do find the extreme ridicule you launched at me for merely asking the question more than unusual. I wonder what would have been the response had I been wrong.
