Give me a little poetic license, a vulture has a little more prowess than a homing pigeon…

Mmm still the same. You called yourself a vulture therefore you're a scavenger. You come to something at it's weakest then bite.

I'm vegetarian actually, so there's no killing coming from me today. Besides, biology never was my strong point.

You should really get used to not taking my metaphors seriously. I have no hostile intent today,and I never have. I'm more of a hedgehog, and defend myself when I need to, if you really want a metaphor

[CelestiJo]

I can see that we're going to get on like a house on fire.

I can't wait for the comeback to this one…

Don't try Latin on me.

How was it to be demonstrated, eh?

Spelt demonstratum wrong mate. Latin fail.

There's no need to be rude about it, you could have just said you thought I made a spelling error, instead of "latin fail"

I don't do latin, but it's a commonly used phrase in maths and philosophy to show that something is proven by means of evidence. I had proven that my point that Rose always seems to be trying to make a comeback for everything I say.
As for the spelling. I've used it 100s of times in both my school years and university years. That's what my numerous teachers and professors have taught me, so if it doesn't agree with what you've been taught with latin, then it must be some kind of special case, I don't know. I'm just going on what I do know

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q.E.D. - it spells it my way in there on the top, if you're into trusting wikipedia…

There, another source. I don't think I made a mistake, and I looked in a latin translator, and it came out with different meanings for "Quod erat demonstratum" and "quod erat demonstrandum", the first meaning "which was demonstrated" and the latter meaning "that was to be demonstrated".

Latin confuses me!

There's a language thread for that. This is English. Go to a Roman forum if you don't like it.
