Whine

If there's one thing that makes me get on my equum altum, it's mixing Greek and Latin together nolens volens. Call it 'Greetin' or 'Lateek', if you will. It's one of the reasons the works of J. K. Rowling make me froth at the mouth.

At lunchtime today, I spotted an example that's been staring me in the face for years.

Vinopolis.

Should be 'Oinopolis'.

I might write and tell them. Perhaps they will send me wine.
