I admire your attempts to educate Murat, but his Latin skills are likely to remain at the lorem ipsum level forever. He boasts about his amazing multilingual skills and Scrabble prowess, but seems to think that SCUMBUG and CORPI are valid words. Even after it was pointed out to him that the plural of CORPUS is CORPORA, he tried to argue the point for a while (though he did eventually back down).

Maybe he will grace us all with a lesson in when it is correct to speak of a "red big truck" instead of a "big red truck," or when we should refer to "Murat and his ilks" instead of "Murat and his ilk." It would be almost as entertaining as his attempts to explain to me that I don't understand the mathematics of pseudorandom number generators as well as he does.
