Some of the other members of this newsgroup know:
My wife doesn't speak Italian, Yiddish, or Latin
Minden, California isn't, and I know that (right Al?)
:P
On the flip side, I did find out "reductio etc." referred
to a proof by contradiction, which I did not know.
And I know a lot more about the price of radishes, too...
This shows that sometimes when I ask a question about something
I recall from Latin class 20 years ago, I may
find out something new...
;O

My wife said it
