Coats of Arms, School Mottos come to mind for example. The Badge of the Ordnance Corps in New Zealand had two latin phrases. HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE en.wikipedia.org And:- SUA TELA TONANTI homepage.ntlworld.com I take it that this means "To the warrior his arms" which is how I took it when serving in the New Zealand Army in 1960. And:- Fortes Fortuna Juvat which was the motto of the Regular Force Cadet School and which I understood as being Fortune favours the brave. And the motto of Rongotai College in Wellington which was Lumen accipe et imperti.... So my point is that Latin is not really a dead language as such, I guess, so long as it lives on in the minds of people. From that point of view and trying to bring this back on the off topic subject I think Sir Howard Morrison will live on in the minds of all who enjoyed the music of the Howard Morrison Quartet as I did. I only met him twice personally. The first time was when he and John Hore autographed my copy of the Ten Guitars Album (Vinyl) which I still have. The second time was when playing golf at the Lakeview Golf Club in Rotorua around 1978 or so. Rest in peace!	Sweep (90)

I wanted to get into the mindset of the people who killed so many of my relations in the two world wars. French has been really helpful (put Waynes world NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in here ) especially now with my bus company.	prefect (6291)

813150	2009-09-24 05:03:00	I can find no reference to Doolens....... The Latin phrase "Requiescat in pace" (singular) or "Requiescant in pace" (plural) is a short prayer that typically appears on headstones, often abbreviated "RIP" or "R.I.P." The expression means "may he / she rest in peace" (singular) or "may they rest in peace" (plural). In English-speaking countries, "RIP" is often used as an initialism for the English words, "Rest In Peace".[1]	Cicero (40)

Whatever language(s) are spoken by various people all over the world will not get you into a mindset of a particular person in my view. Most people in New Zealand speak New Zild or an approximation thereof or something like that. Some people that speak New Zild turn out to be crims and are locked up but fortunately I don't judge people by their language as such but rather I discriminate taking into account their actions and interactions with others. I wanted to take German in my later years at school but that was we were were still on the Imperial system and I found that Metric was easier for Chemistry and Physics bearing in mind that my Math skills were pathetic to say the least at that time. Do you believe that ALL Germans were bad during WWII? If so, I feel rather sorry for you. ALL cyclists are bad so you can run them over? ALL Maori are bad so they all should go? Personally I don't think so but that's just my opinion.	Sweep (90)
813152	2009-09-24 22:05:00	My memory of Sir Howard is way back in the late 60's when I was in a rock band. Howard said then that the "average idea of a stage by pubs and clubs etc was a power plug in the wall" He was a great entertainer from an age and style that we probably won't see again.	Digby (677)
