Cancer Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 Depending on mood, it can be hard to tell the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 It's the sleepiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Friday, and my class is over by 0910. If it weren't for the intervening three hours, life would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I seem to be coming down with the virus my wife has been suffering the last three days. Oh joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hopefully not sine die (he said, mutilating both Latin and English together in a way that must indicate illness-induced dementia). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Let's go with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Or the chant of those who hate trigonometry: "Die, sine! Die, cosine! Die, tangent!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I never trusted that tangent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Shouldn't that be "Das sine, das cosine, das tangent"? Unless trig is inherently feminine? (Which it may be, I understand each equally poorly.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Looks like Sinus and Cosinus are masculine, that is, der Sinus (or Cosinus). Tangente is feminine (so die Tangente). (yeah, I had to look those up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 And here I thought I was being funny. Turns out it really is that ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Good thing I never tried learning Japanese. A friend once said of it: "It would never have occurred to me to try transmitting information in that fashion." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Marcus Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Japanese, Gaelic, and perhaps Italian. That's my Languages I Wanna Learn List. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Main Languages I Wanna Learn List: Gaelic, Greek, Latin, Hieroglyphics & French; Also nice: Aramaic, Hebrew, Tibetan Chinese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'd settle for being understood by my wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
