EDIT: The word is deserere what means to leave... The word desert comes from desertum, which means left  big_smile

Trivia - from Tri Via, three roads.

But in reality there are thousands - way too many to mention.

Here are just those derived from latin words beginning with A:

They all basically mean nothing or worthless.  Floccinaucinihilipilification itself means "the estimation of something as worthless".

English contains words with roots in Celtic, Norse, Latin and French - so its no wonder its such a ridiculously complicated language with 12 different ways of writing the sound "ee"...

I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos
