Don't we all contribute to the production of those?
Also, am I right in guessing you never seriously studied Latin?

I did not go to school in this country where a classic education is readily available in state schools. Edinburgh schools were a little thin when it came to classical education. If you were lucky you might have been given French but at a pathetic low level a la Ted Heath. Latin was reserved for expensive fee paying establishments.

I'm sorry for you, although it's of little practical use, I still will swear to the value of classical education, and am rather happy with the fact I got more of it than most.

Oh I agree. The gymnasium here is open to everyone.

... If you were lucky you might have been given French ...

[Svartalf]

That can't have been much good, as I hear the girls in Britain needed actual locals to give them French lessons.

[Brian Peacock]

Only with a covering French letter.

[Svartalf]

C'mon, I live in the bright south, no need for an English coat.

[Scot Dutchy]

What a name. A French letter. I remember the barbers (not hairdressers) with their: "Anything required for the weekend, Sir." Adverts for Durex Gossamers were plastered all over the shop. It was men only...

[Svartalf]

It's rather funny how everything having to do with sex tends to be attributed to other countries... you call rubbers French letters, whereas we call those : "capotes anglaises' (literally English cloaks) ... similarly, to you, the pox is the French disease, whereas, we tended to call it 'le mal espagnol' (Spanish illness, or Italian, or Neapolitan... or whatever, according to the vagaries of history and whoever we were disliking at the moment)

Um, 'Canadian Style' sex was born here. It is a strange, small backwater though.

[Scot Dutchy]

Dutch caps? The British were/are so prudish it is a wonder they had children. It is really hard to imagine.

Never heard of that, do you care to develop? or at least orient me toward a relevant source of information?
I feel I must ask, because, even today, I wanted to find some information on the net, and did not succeed in that endeavour, either because my google fu is miserable, or because, indeed, nefarious malefactors hid the information I was in need of so shamed were they of their onw actions.

They don't speak of it, which would be both gross and rude, but they have women very adept at lying backl and thinking of something or other, and men who are all to eager to give in to their baser nature.
