Thank you all for the sweet messages! I managed to do the first part of the exam, next week I will have the second part (sound of metal pipes)

[useless-greek]

Thank you all for the GL messages!!! Had my final exam today! All went well :)

This technically means the end of my path of studying ancient Greek grammar, and surely a huge relief for my mental health, which was stolen by the language in the first place. I'm finally going to study what I love (which is not Greek nor Latin.) and I am already feeling better.

Does this mean I will stop posting? Nope! I still have my dictionary and my folder full of stuff to post, so don't worry, I'm sticking with y'all nerds! I will prolly post less, though, but I won't stop.

The Romans really went off with 'nisi fallor'. All the English online equivalents simply do not compare.

'if I remember correctly' -> wordy, stupid, too long

'as far as I know' -> sounds bad, clunky, can't say it quickly

'afaik' -> unpronounceable, weird looking

'iirc' -> gibberish, incomprehensible, too many i's

'nisi fallor' -> good length, easy & fun to say, can be thrown in anywhere quickly, literally 'unless I am deceiving myself' which is sick
