I was only being light-hearted Melusine, maybe I should have included more smileys of my own
Good points though, I find the development of language a very interesting subject. Most of the Latin based words in English either come via French, or were simply created to fill out English. In the Renaisance period English scholars decided to add words from Latin to distinguish "learned" peoples' speech from that of the commoners, whose language was many Anglo-Saxon/old English based.
No hard feelings intended.
