Yes. Quoque has a short o when it means "also, too".Have I made an error, or is the query over why I used them at all?
I ran a search on phi to find the context. Medusa, of course.Here's a rare and interesting word: saxificus (meaning: that turns into stone; petrifying)
Yep. Can you guess which of these passages I encountered it in?Medusa, of course.
Huh, that's interesting. We were discussing the root verb of this (fuo) yesterday in Greek class (it came up in the Agathon passage). Is that what made you look it up?Whether it is or not, this looks like it might be related to futuo.
In the Soviet Union life was cheap. Hard to imagine living in the West just how cheap it was. Still I can't knock the Soviet thinking behind cheap mass-produced tanks, it proved decisive in the East.The Soviets had an interesting anti-tank strategy. They put food for stray dogs underneath the tanks, to make them associate them with nice things. Then they strapped bombs to them in the expectation that they would eagerly dive under German tanks looking for their dinner.
They'd failed to take into account that it was Soviet tanks that inspired happy memories, not German ones. And the Soviet tanks were a lot closer.
Unfortunately, they transferred this principle to car manufacturing after the war. The Moskvitch mark was notorious for its poor build quality and short lifespan.The Soviet thinking behind this was genius: Why build an expensive tank that on average will last 14 hours in operation before being destroyed? Why indeed.
