Superintendent, I hope you’re ready for mouth-watering hamburgers.

Superintendent Chalmers:

Posted in Uncategorized on May 7, 2008 | 3 Comments »

A question I’ve been pondering for a while: Where did the Romance languages get their articles?  They all have ‘em, but Latin, the mother-tongue of the Romance family, emphatically does not.  Are they imports from the Germanic languages, brought in during the barbarian invasions?  Are they hold-overs from the earlier Celtic languages spoken in France, [...]
