Et tu, stultus having never studied latin, i looked up stultus in an online latin dictionary and i see it means "fool". however, even not knowing latin, it seems to me you are using the incorrect grammatical case for stultus. if you look at the famous, "Et tu, Brute", you see Brutus is in the vocative case, which is distinguished from the nominative case by the "e" ending as required for masculine singular second declension for nouns that end in "us" in the nominative case. since stultus also ends with "us", it seems you should write, "Et tu, stulte." or risk looking foolish. you can read about the vocative here: en.wikipedia.org

JF Quinnelly, There is no confusion from the get-go of this discussion as to what I had issue with and what you sarcastically wrote last year as stated here: Message 21007384 When you write an attacking post as you did last year, you are to keep my sister out of it. This cannot be made more clear. Your criticism of me or others is irrelevant to my point. To spare readers of this thread, my suggestion is you separate your compulsive need to attack me (which is something I will ignore since it's irrelevant to my point) from the discussion around your sarcastic comment last year & my sister (which I will not ignore, should you continue to not get my point). Regards, Amy J
