04:47.01 | levi | goozbach: I took Latin in High School too, but we didn't do the silly Classical pronunciation thing. |
04:50.46 | tensai | levi: there's a joke in there about venus and uranus |
04:52.53 | tensai | levi: my former ward choir director was explaining the pronunciation of "in excelsis deo". there was some bit about classical versus religious use or something like that. |
04:53.46 | levi | I believe religious pronunciation is different from traditional English pronunciation which is different from Classical pronunciation. |
04:54.22 | tensai | he ended his explanation with a hand wave and said we didn't want to go down that road |
04:54.54 | tensai | which from your post sounds likely |
04:54.58 | levi | I think religious pronunciation retained more of the classical flavor. |
04:55.10 | levi | Wikipedia had a ton of information about it. |
04:56.01 | levi | Interestingly, the Norman conquest of England is also the reason 4-letter words are considered 'vulgar' today. |

04:59.36 | levi | 'Vulgar' is from the Latin word for 'common'. The 4-letter words were simply the Anglo-Saxon words for those things, and it was the language of the commoners. They were rude things to mention to begin with, but using the common tongue to refer to them would *really* be an affront to manners. |
05:00.39 | levi | Which is why the words we use in polite company for the things referred to by the rude 4-letter words are generally long and Latin-derived. |
05:03.39 | levi | So, what are the haps tonight? |
05:04.04 | Reilithion | "The haps"? |
05:05.39 | levi | A phrase I picked up from Dinosaur Comics |
05:06.20 | levi | "WHAT ARE THE HAPS MY FRIENDS" is the title of the news box on the comic page. |
05:07.02 | Reilithion | It sounds like a sad and misguided attempt to be cool. |
05:07.31 | levi | Indeed, it does. |
05:08.21 | Reilithion | Well, me I'm playing wit lojbot: A random hilarity generator over on #lojban. |
05:08.56 | levi | Do you have to understand lojban to get the random hilarities? |
05:08.56 | Reilithion | For those of us who speak lojban, lojbot is a source of nonstop head-explody laughter. |
05:09.28 | Reilithion | levi: Mostly yes. But you can use the jbofi'e translator at http://www.lojban.org/jboski/index.php to help understand. |
05:09.58 | levi | I think I'll stick with Dinosaur Comics, thanks. |
05:10.44 | levi | BTW, are you someone I know who's changed nicks, or someone new to #utah in the last few weeks? |
05:11.07 | Reilithion | I've been in before, but not since January. I was at the last meeting though. |
05:12.06 | levi | Ahh, okay. I can't remember who else it is here who does lojban. |
05:12.21 | levi | And some people keep switching their nicks around. It's highly confusing. :) |
05:13.01 | Reilithion | Nope. No nick swapping for this guy. Most of the time. |
05:13.12 | Reilithion | Who else here "does" lojban? |
05:13.48 | levi | If I could remember, I would have said who it was a couple of lines ago. |
05:14.29 | Reilithion | ic |
05:14.37 | Reilithion | Good to know I'm not the only one, though. |

05:15.13 | levi | I looked at it long enough to decided it looked interesting, but not something I actually wanted to devote time to. |
