I sent you an email. I take it you did not receive it, then. I was wondering why you hadn't responded. I certainly still am interested. I'll PM you this time.

No. Etymology does not determine meaning. Click the siggy.

However, the etymology is the primary contributing factor in why sesquipedalian is my favorite word. The story goes like this: Horace, in his Ars Poetica, advised aspiring young Latin poets against using sesquipedalia verba, words a foot and a half long. He was, of course, being deliciously ironic in so doing. English speakers who appreciated the jest brought the word sesquipedalian into our tongue and assigned it the meaning it bears in honour of that bit of humour.

yes, I know what etymögel means. but I still think that it's because you're 1½'.

Did you receive my message, JamieK?

Posted by JamieK on 04-11-2003 12:04 AM:

yes i did.

i haven't found the damn CD with the sample mission i made all that time ago. lol

Posted by Sesquipedalian! on 04-11-2003 06:45 PM:

Lol. Fair enough. It will be a few weeks before I have the chance to write more mission scripts anyway, so no worries.

Posted by JamieK on 04-11-2003 09:28 PM:

i had forgotten about this and i came across the cd and now i remembered. :/

i hate my bad memory.
