Find Nowhere on the map.

I'll check my car's nav later.

She was nervous... sometimes people's brains just go kaput in certain stressful situations. Then, of course, if large crowds make you nervous, you probably shouldn't sign up for a beauty pageant.

Find Nowhere on the map.

Type 'nowhere' on Google Maps and prepare to be surprised: apparently, 'nowhere' is just about everywhere, from OH, to TX, to WY

I use Latin all of the time, botanical nomenclature is always in Latin.

I never studied it as a language, but I need it if I want to communicate precisely in my field.

Do you just use/understand the botanical names, or do you speak the language fluently ?

I too like maps- I do a fair amount of amateur 'archeology' via Google Earth & others. I wish to hell we had had satellies snappin pics 50-100 years ago, tho.

My buddy has a Tom-Tom Nav (or maybe it's another brand, IDK) - we were driving somewhere new and he turned it on- it was dead. I reminded him 'Map-Map never goes dead'.

I hate hate it when every other word out of a person's mouth (usually girls) is "like".

A few years ago in an English class I wrote a paper in the style of a 16 year old girl speaking. "Um" and "like" were usewd quite a bit. It netted me an "A" and my instructor a headache. I cant find it right now, but it was pretty awesome.

Like, awesome.

I don't speak it at all, but I have an ever-expanding vocabulary within Latin via the botanical names.

So, I've picked-up quite a bit via a sort of osmosis.

Once you know Latin, it's a simple step to learn the Romance languages (Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Romanian), etc ...

True.

I know some Spanish and can pick up meaning in some of the others.

It helps that language has always fascinated me and I tend to notice the interelationship of words in different languages.

It also helps that English is a mutt, and contains elements from many languages.

I'm still stuck on Casket Demon's "isauceselees." Never seen that spelling of "isosceles" before.
