I had a feeling it'd be Latin for something - mea culpa...
20 Dec, 2010
must remember that one! ive looked it up! should have worked it out ~ did latin for 2 years but i can only remeber 'Caecillius in artrium est' ~ Caecillius is in the hall!!!!??? thats a lot of use to anyone isnt it!!!! now you know why i didnt do my quiz in latin!!!
20 Dec, 2010
I don't know any Latin, apart from that in common use in business - but plant names in Latin I do know - not cos its Latin, but just because that's what they're called, they're just names.
20 Dec, 2010

Personally, I'd have found it much easier if you wanted the Latin! I've managed 7 common names, no clue as to the others... not very good on common names and they differ enormously round the country, lol.
I'm still trying, got 2 more... good game!
