It is true that it is best for Latin word elements to go with other Latin word elements, and it is best for Greek word elements to go with other Greek elements. But when a certain word element was very often used in one of the languages, while its translation in the other language was not very often used, making the word elements match is not so easy. A perfect example is the Greek adverb tele, "far off." The Greeks used it as a prefix pretty often. But the Latin translation, procul, was never used as a prefix by the Romans. In cases like television (Greek + Latin), I think mixing is a-okay. Proculvision is just weird. The multiamory is not best for the Latin elements, anyway. Multamory is better according to how Latin word elements normally work (as in multangulus, multanimis, multannus). Perhaps polyeroticism would be better than polyphilia. Even the Romans had Graeco-Latin hybrids: antelogium, Pseudocato, salaputtium, protolapsus, drillopota, monoculus, penteloris, euroaquilo, scenofactorius, septidromus, artigraphus, myobarbum, tractomelitus.

That’s a beautiful sentiment!

Oh, damn it, beautiful‘s Germanic/Romance…

I was talking about this with someone the other day. It is incredible that some people actually do see this kind of mixing as wrong. I wonder if it correlates with opposition to interracial marriage..

Shane, additionally, one can never be too prepared for the zombie apocalypse. It only makes sense for each individual to have their own personal armory!

Three cheers for multiamory and multiarmory!

Was the double entendre intentional when you said you had to “get that off your chest” – referring to something located precisely there on a T-shirt?
