Acknowledgment

Thank you in advance for all of your help!

Extra Credit

"ss" is latin for sua sponte (SP?)
roughly translates to "this is the place"

Bob-Chicago, Chicago explained:

***"ss" is latin for sua sponte (SP?)

I hate to differ with my friend, colleague, buddy, guru and mentor, but "'sua sponte" actually means "on its own responsibility," as in a court that takes an action without a request from either party. Lawyers hate it when judges act sua sponte; what they do is most of the time eminently logical, and no lawyer ever wants a logical resolution to his problem. He wants to WIN!

I don't know the Latin for "this is the place," but my lovely and talented wife says that the Spanish is "Este es el Taco Bell."

Mea Culpa

That is, I believe, Latin for "I screwed up"
Am looking for my big dictionary for the correct answer.
Will post when I find it

Re: Extra Credit

SS Latin for "scilicet" meaning "to wit, namely"

LS Latin for "locus sigilli" meaning "place of the seal"

How much extra credit do I get??

Re: Extra Credit

Jon claimed:

***SS Latin for "scilicet" meaning "to wit, namely"***

Cochran's Law Lexicon: "S.S. = A collar worn by the Lord Chief Justice."

"Scilicet" is an Italian island, at the toe of the Italian boot. It's where the Godfather was from. Get it right, please. I can't teach both law and geography here. Scilicet is also the home of the Italian sailor who, during WWII, called out from the bow of his tuna boat: "Cap'n, is that a U boat I see?" To which the captain replied, "No, Guiseppe, thats notta my boat."

Re: Extra Credit

That reminds me, being a ex-sailor, do y'all know what the letters mean in front of the ship's names?

USS = United States Ship
HMS = Her (or His) Majesty's Ship
etc.

Now, the Italian navy also has ships with AMB in front of their names. Do you know what that stands for?

Re: Extra Credit

The American HeritageŽ Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000:

scilicet

abbr. sc. or ss.

My apologies, should be lower case instead of CAPITAL.
