Philosophum non facit barba.*
I hope I remembered that correctly. I loved Latin. I became an accountant. I can almost do Celsius, I'm very good with km, but I can't deal with cm.
(*A beard does not make a philosopher - isn't that hilarious? The things we remember!)
"Only numbers I do are 5/8, 45 and 60."
But of course!
As a dental hygienist married to a dentist, I am full aware of all the positive attributes of dental floss.....you just never know when it will come in handy! LOL
"Non est hic." I think more Alley Oop than Fred Flintstone. And, agreed, no child is interested in hearing about where it was conceived.
Never studied Latin, to my great regret. The only Latin I "know" was something my father used to recite. It began, "Hicora dicora dogium, ascendit mus horologium ..." I can't remember the rest.
Oh, well, that and the whole Catholic mass.
