I am moving to ROME!

Ciao Tutti,
It is finally happening...the time has come for me to spend a few months in Rome. I really can't explain how much I have been looking forward to this and how much it means to me. But in this blog, I'll spend the next six months trying...

This is what I mean by 'I hate Latin...'

The Latin alphabet does not contain J, U, and W. C originally meant G. C began to replace K except before A in several words. There was no distinction between the written G and K, which was later remedied by taking (from C) the newly improved G. G took the former place of Z, which had fallen out of use. Y was just a form of V and V originally denoted the vowel sound from U, whereas F stood for the sound of our consonant W. When F became F, V was used for W. I and V were simultaneously vowels and consonants.


Figuring out anything else is just as confusing...
