At any rate, I shall desist from now on. And I am NOT going to point out possible alternatives to latinate English unless asked.

I don't expect those for whom English is a second or third language, to know what's latinate and what isn't. I'm always tempted to have fun with it. Do remember, that I offered to help anyone who asked. Only one person asked, moons ago.

Hey, it was not a problem like that... from my point of view, I was thinking that it's more like a question of "godmodding" another person's writing of his or her character, actually. I think it's good that you've offered yourself to help us; if I write something while using too many latinised words, by all means point it out and offer me some alternatives. But I have been kind of thinking that if I wrote the same thing like Nog did and you then posted a following post interpretating it as if my character was speaking partly-Gondorian, I might be like "hey, but that's not what my character meant to sound like at all, he was supposed to sound normal!" Of course, most likely it won't matter (and probably in Athanar's case it didn't), but it could happen that it would. So just saying.

Anyway, let's not dwell on that and let's simply continue writing, I think that's what matters here.

Legate & Nogrod, please accept my apology. I did not respond to your concerns with courtesy. I'll do better.

I posted. Poorly, perhaps, but I posted perhaps enough to get the ball rolling again with Faramund.

You two gents need to start making friends or something...at least behave a little?
