Jeebus Rice, I just had to school my dad in ancient Greek and Latin nouns.

He's writing some book about ancient mathematicians and needed to know a whole assload about the roots of math terms. As the house language nerd, I was tapped to find out the requisite info. Did you know that "ellipse" comes from a verb meaning "to fall short?" Because I didn't care. But I learned something. :shrug:

I researched more about Ancient Greek in an hour than gets covered in a semester of classes. My head hurts. :crazy:

1. Mmmmmm....Jeebus Rice......auuggggghhhhh,....

:P That's pretty cool! So if we have a language need, we should get you to do all the dirtywork, right?

2. Yeah, sure.

:eyes:

No, really, go ahead, I'd probably be happy to do it. :)
