I have ALWAYS maintained that the most valuable portion of my formal education was the two years of (required) Latin in high school. That gave me the background to understand (or at least take a stab at) vast numbers of words in a variety of languages and particularly in the scientific disciplines (useful since I'm a science librarian much of the time). Anyone else feel this way about Latin or Greek? or about some other portion of their formal educaiton? I'd be interested to hear other opinions. -- | Didi Pancake | Managing professionals | | ehp@virginia.edu | is like herding cats! | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | All the usual disclaimers about the origins of these opinions apply. |
