    Wow.

    Also in the news today a Florida sheriff is forbidding masks in his facility. Visitors and staff. I guess it isn’t really about liberty after all.

    Only non-witches get due process.

            From Nature "Face masks: what the data say"

            https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02801-8

            "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                Masks are a product of fear.

                    We've talked about this before, but, I sort of appreciate the attention to the precision of Latin.

                          We didn't just study Latin.

                          We spoke it.

                          It is not only singular, it is Dayt-uh not daaata

                            John Derbyshire once had a corner post about his unhappiness with these colonial editors at NR changing his ‘data is’ to ‘data are’. His argument, which I found compelling, is the word was now English and not Latin. In English it’s a mass noun like rice or sand. In Latin it’s plural but if you’re using it as a Latin word than you would italicize it. But nobody italicizes it because it’s an English word.

                              People say ‘my agenda is full’.

                              Can you imagine how pretentious would sound to say “I can’t do 9 o’clock, I have an agendum”.

                              Or, “I can’t do next week, my agenda are too many”.

                                I got 40% on my Latin exam.

                                One should always try to XL, however difficult the subject.

                                I was only joking
