Well it does to the people who post here... dispassionate and reasoned debate, with a good deal of humour thrown in for good measure.

7/7. I'm think of writing "A bluffer's guide to translation" or, "tests ain't wot they used to be".

I think that if anyone scores less than three they should immediately be co-opted onto the Committee for English in the Liturgy translation department. :lol:

We don't! You'll just have to take my word that I got 7 as well without cheating (so that rules me out of ICEL, Gwyn!).

Is it the silly season yet? This Board suggests it is.
(BTW I got 5/7)
This thread is nearly as bad as the one where men are comparing their organs. There's so much male pride on parade.

I got a lucky 6/7 but some of them were guesses. Never studied Latin at all but just looked for roots.

Well, I got a 7 but a 6 would have been nice - where there's life, there's hope!

I wonder how the literalists of LIturgiam Authenticam would translate some of these phrases :wink:
