I'm not the one that tries to impress with Latin. Any fool can do
that.

Non-sequitur is mainstream English, just like 'cul-de-sac', 'alkali',
'memsahib', 'Ciaio', 'Adios', and a thousand and one other foreign words
and
phrases that have been assimilated. For your information I know no Latin
whatsoever, having had to choose at an early age between studying "Arts"
or
"Sciences" at school. No contest.

At least you've got the spelling right this time. Many people who try
to show how clever they are use these word because they know the plebs
don't understand them.

Well why don't you look the word up in an *English* dictionary, instead of
wallowing about in your pig-ignorance.

If it makes you feel important go right ahead
but it doesn't impress me one bit - especially when you can't spell it
correctly :-))

So you're a scientis now?

No. I'm a scientist. And since my schooldays.

I can spell it, too, and it makes me feel humble, not important, to be one.

There was no choice at my school, however, as to whether or not one
studied English. Looks as if there was at your school, and you opted
out.

For O Grade arithmetic :-)

Bad choice. You would have eventually learned to add one and one - even
though you can't put two and two together - but acquiring language once one
is adult is an uphill grind, as your posts readily confirm.

As I have said before, I don't "claim" to be an expert in anything.
Nor am I a conservationist or environmentalist.

If I were inexpert and uninvolved in some subject or other, I wouldn't have
the brass-neck to challenge pronouncements of those who were, at least not
before equipping myself with a modicum of knowledge. It appears you have
some kind of psychological problem .
