Todo el tiempo en el mundo
My wife and I both have Spanish as a second language, though she speaks it better than I. The other day I was waiting for her to do something so that I could go to work. I said: íVieja! ¿Crees que tengo todo el tiempo en el mundo? This literal translation of "Do you think I have all the time in...

suorum & secum
My son is studying Latin at his community college. I studied one year of Latin in high school and did not do very well with it. My son, Ben, is doing better than I did, but he has not been able to find a translation for the two words listed in the subject. If any member of the Agora can help us with...

Delect
Doctor Goodword, would you maybe approve of the creation of new verbs? If so I present for your consideration the new verb "delect". As you have probably guessed, the verb "delect" would be the opposite of the verb "elect". It would replace the awkward constructions &qu...

Conspire, Inspire, Respire, Spire
Doctor, here are three verbs and a noun for your consideration. Without researching the issue, I'm guessing each is related in some way to the word "spirit" and to life, though I'm not sure how "conspire" might fit in. A spire, is of course, typically associated with christian or...

YIPES! So what happens when you need to make a left-curving cut? I know about those because I spent a month or so doing aluminum siding one summer in my youth.

If there are three pair, you might have one for cutting curves to the right, one to the left, and one for cutting straight on. Yes, that's exactly what was in the package. I discarded the ones that cut to the left, they seemed uncomfortable with me. The ones that cut to the center and to the right ...
