not much interest in the 2nd half of the Bear's Cardinal's game

Pretty much, as grammar police, I'd say that you don't need the apostrophe in "Cardinal's" because an apostrophe there means that the Cardinals are owning the game. I'll make an exception today because well, the Cardinals ARE owning this game. :crying

Zephyrus, the warm west winds, is a Latinized carryover from the Greek, and that is typical of the few Latin words that begin with z. Proper names like Zeus and Zeno are an exception. As to why I sprinkle the alphabet thread with Latin — I had five years of it in grammar school and high school and use it daily in the biological sciences, so why not spread the joy?

And skipping the letter X? For shame.

 

Blimey, I skipped Y as well. :lolhitting

 

I read your post starting with "Why. . . ?", and in my addled mind I translated it as "Y". Bother.

 

A shame, too, as I have a doozy of an X word ready to roll.
