Crossword Help Forum
Forum Rules

It certainly is, Busby.

I posted a thread last year about those problems, & caught some flak from people with vested interests.

Thought I'd try a different approach. Not much response this time. Not surprising in a world where Twitter rules. Two stanzas might exceed the current attention span.

Rosalind. The last verse translates roughly as:

This forum, as we see,
is a strange place,
but here we met;
I find (or provide) answers.

The last verb can go either way.

Difficile est rithimorum Latine scribere.
It is difficult for me to write rhymes in Latin.
My Latin is also quite rusty - too many years, but I aced it back then.

Ad melius diebus !

Don't be disheartened, Syzygy: I guess we all have some kind of love-hate relationship to/with this Forum. And despite all its drawbacks we still come back to it again & again --- because, well, "TINA" etc .......................................................

The original and translation are truly classic, in the original sense. Does not "responsa invenio" sound wonderful?
Thank you
I echo GK.

Ego assentior. Quam verum.
Populus diversis requista.
Est parva mundi nos cahabitabunt.

PS: Ego esset similis gratias google.

Warned you my latin sucks!!

: But if anyone wants an answer the first thing they should do is research!!!

Don't know how many times i've told my kids "LOOK IT UP" don't ask me!!!

Got it. Ciao.

Thanks, Syzzie.

Syzygy,this is totally splendid my friend,truly inspired.
cheers Indeed.

Thank you all for the encouraging words,
but I think I'm "preaching to the choir."

Doubt if it will have much impact on the "target" audience".

GK, what or who is TINA?

For Syzygy:
One of Maggie Thatcher's favourite expressions was "There is no alternative!", so she became known ac Tina !!!

............sorry, "as Tina", of course.

Your poem is brilliant syzygy, but sadly it is not reaching the right ears. I've been encouraging questioners (individually )recently, by bringing their attention to the posting tips, and I see other forum members have also done the same. I think the posting tips could be bolder (and repeated on the "log in" page, where they might get noticed more). Hope Norah sees this thread. I tried to write this in Latin (she lied)
