Not sure...
Seems to have caused a stir on the SSSS bulletin board,
to the point that the owner/manager/moderator shut it down
completely (except for one remaining thread).

Bu I will take over and continue MY monologue so that you
won't miss the rantings of a lunatic for too long.

Once I get back in from my laboratory... I'm working
on a high efficiency alternate mode of transportation
for my morning commute...

 

I would expect nothing less.

 

I didn't know anyone in Michigan knew me

 

Someone spanked him so now he has gone guerilla. Hiding and sending his special type of spam by email and private message. The world is out to get him, US Sailing has put a handler on him to keep his ideas down.

 

Frank.....Nisi nil de Mortuis bonum

 

Wreckage.

I was planning to post a short version of this, and could
not possibly hope to say it as well as this:

 

Nunquam beluae demoruntur. Modo novi fili inciperent.

 

I think you mean "De mortuis nil nisi bonum"?

Dulce et Decorum Est

 

get a grip!

 

Okay, now what?

 

According to my Latin teacher that is the wrong phrase. It is "Nisi nil......."

 

Could be correct both ways, but I can see logic which agrees
that your Latin teacher might be correct...

In many languages you don't put the object up front.
Example, in English we say "Frank's barge is ugly".
But in many languages the syntax would be
"The barge of Frank's is ugly" or even Ugly is the barge
of Franks".

So "Speak kindly or not at all of the dead" sounds correct, but
or "Kindly, or not at all, speak of the dead"
so does "Of the dead speak kindly or not at all"

And, by coincidence(?):

Interesting.

 

Actually, I believe it is correct both ways as: Nemo me impune lacessit or nobody shall attack me unpunished........how you arrive from boats to latin...

 

Latinorum verborum compositio disputare stultus est. Maxime in filum beluae.

 

Ever hear of a gaff rig?
It's the one with the big assed batten on the top of the sail.
How about the Chinese Junk rigs?
Putting a lot of area at the head of a sail has drawbacks.
