All I said, or meant to say - I've only studied Wheelock's textbook and Bennet's Grammar so I am a novice - is this:

Lingua de terra Sennaarum est verenda, sed plus scientiam nos habemus ultra de lingua Aegyptorum est verenda quoque.

"The language of the land of Shinar is interesting, but we have more knowledge of the language of the Egyptians [which] is interesting also."



Quamvi, ne lingua Sennaarum neque lingua Aegyptorum sunt admodum utensilis hodie.

"However, neither the language of Shinar nor the language of the Egyptians are very useful today."



Lingua Latinarum, aut Latina, est plus magnopere utilis nunc.

"The language of the Latins, or Latin, is exceedingly more useful now."



Linguas hodie, de Hispania, Gallia, multis verbis de lingua Anglorum, atque lingua Italia sunt de Latina.

"[many] Languages today, of Spain, France, [a lot of English vocabulary], and also the Italian language are from Latin."



Lingua Latinarum est ultra verenda in sententiam meam.

"The language of the Latins is very interesting in my opinion."

And now we're all under the charm of your speech.

Do you think you're going to win us as easily as that?

No no no dear, I win and I'll see if you all behaved while I'm having my lunch.

As I do mine. Or brunch is the word, I think.

Hi, winners. (um, for a little while you're not as I take the lead now)

*starts pedaling again*

Oh no, brunch first. Plus a coffee.

There is just enough time for me to sneak in and grab the win while I have a rest. I'm working in the garden planting Winter veg.

I'll take it from here.

Thanks for looking after the thread while I was away, I'm back now so I'll take it from here, no need for you to post again now. Thanks.

Oh, I kind of enjoyed having it. I hope you understand, I'm not giving it back.

But that isn't fair. I only lent you the thread, I didn't give it to you! If you want to keep it the price is £1000.

(It feels like we've got a reverse Hercules-Atlas dynamic going on here)

I hold the thread. You are in no position to negotiate.

Could someone please win for me.... I have to prepare dinner now and eat it after that. (um, yep, in that order, yeah.... just checking (for myself))

(Tickles McTell so he is unable to hold the thread with both hands and drops it) TallyMan deftly catches it and runs away with it.

I'll have the law on you TallyMan! You won't get away with this!

(I'm hiding where nobody will ever find me or take the thread away from me ever again.)

now, what is this thread lying down here all by itself doing here ? *picks it up*

Oi! That's mine! You just can't walk off with it! The cheek!

now, what makes you believe it's yours?
