    intro, i guess

    hi all, i guess this is my intro to the forums (or fora, for you latin plural sticklers).

    i've been fencing for about 8 years now, and i'm basically obsessed.

    so...i guess that's about it on the subject of intros.

    Welcome! We have an "Inquartata," who is always correcting others' latin as well. Methinks you will both get along .

    Not quite; Inq (and I) both appreciate proper capitalisation.

    Other than that, welcome to the forum!

    Welcome to the forum- enjoy your stay and watch out for Inq- he's somewhat crochety and grammer, spelling, punctuation, colored lames, epeeists, and well, just about anything else you can think of. Crochety, but nonetheless this forum would not be the same without him...

    Thanks for your welcomes, all.

    I suppose I shall have to try to remember to capitalise effectively. I generally don't do it.

    Ach, well. C'est le vie. A small price to pay, no?

    Are you referring to my spelling of "capitalisation"? That is the Canadian spelling, you know.

    Quick! Everyone DON'T visualize Inq's secret identity:
    Edmund Whiteadder was particularily fond of an exagerrated codpiece called 'The White Russian' as it annoyed the church.

    CUE TITLE MUSIC
    White: his gloves of finest mole,
    White: his codpiece made of metal,
    His horse is whiter than a vole,
    His pot is whiterer than his kettle.

    White Adder, White Adder, with many a cunning plan.
    White Adder, White Adder, you horrid little man.
