Occasionally one makes mistakes. On this occasion I have made an
enormous one. I hope this post will go some small way to put it
right and explain how it came about. I don't seek to excuse anything
I said or did.
The entire ugly thread started last week when I replied to this
message from ng0:

Is it? I didn't know that. I thought it just came from the latin,

The problem as I understand it is as follows:
