From: Mark A Mandel <mam at theworld.com> >Nicely pointed out and well put. (Except it should be "res *ipse* >loquitur"; "res" is feminine, as in "res publica" ~~ 'public business', >the etymon of "republic".) Um, no -- "ipse" is a masculine form. As you say, "res" is feminine, so it would have to be "ipsa". -- David Goldfarb <*>| goldfarb at ocf.berkeley.edu | "You do it. I'm bitter." goldfarb at csua.berkeley.edu | -- MST3K
