To explain again specifically: for the numbers 15-18, Classical Latin had. 8211; derived literally from ‘five-ten’, ‘six-ten’, ‘seven-ten’ but then ‘two-from-twenty’. French and Italian have, respectively,. As far back a...

The greatest WordPress.com site in all the land! Me and My Viv. That’s a Viv isn’t it? We chatted about our shared love of vintage and she showed me pics on her phone of the several lovely dresses she owns. This was not the first such encounter and having been to vintage fairs and joined online groups I have found a new shared interest community. It feels good to get into something new.
