AliceTheOwl Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Re: The Last Word I remember it because congratulations seems naturally related to gratis. Well, sure, if you do it the EASY way by studying the Latin roots! Actually, in some cases, that could mess you up, because some of our words come from Greek.

AliceTheOwl Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Re: The Last Word *groans* So anyway, when I was studying Greek history, my professor explained that we were talking about the "Hellenic" period in history, with the "ic" on the end to imply that it wasn't pure Greek culture we were studying, it was more, in his words, "Greeky, Greekish". So this whole exchange has reminded me of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
