Oh men, beautiful and true indeed!

except for the strong "R" they sound exactly as spanish.

Paraphrasing Maty, grammar and vocabulary have always been advanced torture 101 for any regular kid at any era and any place. irrespectively of the language; believe me. Strongly agree on this

Does she also question the human role in the dead of the bear behind her?? (to give an example of the many I've found) This woman and her "boss" are the quintessence of stupidity.

As far as I know, "silla" is no Latin word. We know you know Latin but, did you really read what I wrote?? the Silla was an anecdotic note which I used to talk about the existing word in Latin "Sella" which then I used to explain the confusion it could bring to ancient latin speakers.... My post was focused on Sella, not Silla. Men, I don't think it was that hard to understand...

I was talking of latin, not spanish nor italian. About the spanish "silla" meaning chair was an anecdotic note I know by far that in Italian the call him Silla, an in Spanish Sila, which is read the same btw.

Silla means "chair" in Spanish, from latin sella, ae. And as "e" in some cases was pronounced like "i", your Silla (Sulla) would be confused for Silla (Sella), which for the analphabet plebe (and others) should be, at least, hilarious.

Well, in Spanish that hapens too. Marcus Antonius is Marco Antonio, Cicero is Cicer

I think she was being sarcastic ahms. Got it!

I thought it was its universal meaning, at least for catholics. I've been told all my life that INRI means that: "Jesus of Nazaret, King of Jews"

CIAO ITALIAAAA!!!!! Honestly and leaving apart patriotism, Italy played nothing, Justice was done and Spain won. Italy is usually a lucky team that owes much of its victories to their "not very fair" play plus good luck. It seems the mafia procedures are written in the genes of italians. Now Russia...this is becoming more and more difficult

haha, indeed
