Hello Friends !!!

Today's post deals with Latin phrases that has found a permanent place in the English Vocabulary. Well, to be honest, this applies mostly to the visible portion of the post and not to the invisible portion offered for download. The downloadable file has as many as 157 pages. I have included the wikipedia-link therein for your further reference. I'm sure, you would extol my path-breaking copy-paste job.

I'm also certain that if you have read this far, you would, without fail, go on to like the rest.

Happy reading.
