In a message dated 98-03-19 13:17:28 EST, you write: << first-declension feminine noun in Latin, and "nauseam" is the accusative case, required by the preposition "ad". It means "to [the point of] nausea". There is no such word as nauseum. Likewise all those other borrowed latin phrases, "ad hominem" (not hominum) "in memoriam" (not memorium) ad infinitum..... >> And I got jumped on for complaining about some spelling butchery on this list. Touchy,touchy. Thanks for the info- I was the one who started the "ad naseum" comments. All my Latin came from Saturday Night Live. Bob Bergantino, RPT Cleveland, Ohio (South Euclid)
