your silence and my silence

"In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends"

-MLKJ.


I will admit, that I am silent more than I should be and often at important junctures. I hope to overcome this shortcoming though...










But, I also hope I will remember your silence and the silence of those around me.

gota talk about that pig cold

Okay, so call me stupid, but why do they call the bird cold "avian flu" but the pig cold "swine flu" Does the parts of speech not match?

The adjective for of or pertaining to pig is "porcine" so..., correspondingly, "porcine flu".

Of course,... they never spoke of "bovine mania",... probably because it sounds like crazy _for_ cows, instead of "mad cows"

YMMV I suppose.
