Lonicera nitida.

[ScottF]

Language evolves, pronouciation changes - its communication that matters. If you both understood each other, what's to be gained from moaning about the inflection of a consonant or two?

 

Honestly - and why appeal to righteousness by invoking Oxford??

 

Indeed. Then again, Oxbridge folks often let the secret of their schooling slip out at the strangest times.

 

You should have said: "Bene, cum Latine nescias, nolo manus meas in te maculare"!

 

That would have showed her.

Since the genus Lonicera is named after a german botanist, i fail entirely to see what Latin has to do with anything.
