or impotent? or important?

No I took Latin in high school and I think it is a Latin term "Sic" meaning thus, so, in such a manner. Meaning I am reproducing this word thusly as it was written.

Like et cetera, which means and other things.

in the rest of the world, people don't know what sic means...everyone here has at least a clue.

Anyone know the plural of opus? without looking it up?

Possibly opi.

How about opa?

squiffy · #27 10-10-2003, 01:07 PM

Opera?

Congratulations...Opera it is, not opah either.

Opus is an individual work, often of music, while the thing we think of as singular "opera" is a group of musical works made into a story. Just an example of words that many of us have heard of both, but not made the connection.
