Oops! Nice list uselessness.
Yeah, I'll take that! I'll probably regret it (the fine line is actually very fine) but hey, it's my list. :-)
Not my list, palooka! You can thank u for this jewel. :-)
Ah. I think I understand. Basically you're looking for the Latin "sore thumbs," so to speak. So...would alumnus/alumni, etc. fit in?
There's a fine line. Some words are quite obviously Latin, and though used commonly, their actual language is noted. Often you'll see them in italics to drive the point home. That's really what this list is for.
Consider French. We'll say bon appetit or je ne sais quoi, quite definitely French. But then along come words like croissant or rendezvous, and though we acknowledge their origin, they're now legitimate, dictionaritized English words. Though to be honest, this status is still pretty subjective.
I thought assimilation was the point.
Handy list reesetee!
All great! I do wonder about alter ego, subpoena, placebo, and veto though... might they be considered standard English words at this point? I think they're fairly well assimilated.
in utero, placebo, in situ, veto, post mortem, modus operandi...
this is fun.
oooh! - and n.b./note bene
Ad hominem, alter ego, deus ex machina, tabula rasa, emeritus, magnum opus, pro bono (actually short for "pro bono publico," I believe), sic, subpoena, cum laude....
Okay, I'll stop. :-)
Hey, thanks for those! I know there are probably millions more but I'm drawing a blank at the moment. ;-)
Nice!
