Neato! I try to come up with Latinate words whenever possible, just so that I can have an air of mystery and plausible deniability. Kind of like when politicians misappropriate funds rather than taking or misusing them. And plus, going to the penitentiary sounds so much more regal than getting one's arse thrown in jail. Of course, routinely using Latinate words has a tendency to annoy those around you. Especially those people whose every third word is "like," "you know," or "so". Wait a sec, it's not Friday, is it?
