I can't down-vote, so I don't know. But what's the significance of that example? It's one instance of many remnants of the Latin neuter in modern languages.

- jgwil2 5y agoYeah okay, so I guess it's of zero interest to anybody who clicked on an article about the Latin neuter. Thanks for the feedback.
- OnlyOneCannolo 5y agoNo, my feedback is that it's not clear what you meant. I guess I wasn't very clear either.
- jgwil2 5y agoSorry for the sarcasm. I just meant it as one additional data point on the subject of the article. Not to get too off topic, but I got snippy because I just don't understand what standards comments are sometimes held to. Mine may not have been the most interesting comment in the world, but when I go to the trouble of making what I think is a reasonable contribution to the discussion, and then some people decide it's so bad I should do karmic penance, it hurts my feelings. I apologize once again for taking it out on you.
- OnlyOneCannolo 5y agoIt's karmic roulette - The rules are made up, and the points don't matter :-)
- jrumbut 5y agoI've learned that there's an element of randomness and momentum, and sometimes you just get a raw deal. What still kills me is when some post gets downvoted and someone replies "you're getting downvoted but actually that's a good post!" and they get upvoted. It's not as though you can trade the upvotes for prizes anyway.
- canadianfella 5y agoThis one deserves the downvotes.
