Oh. I was wondering. I thought it was Norse or Saxon at first. ~_^yadfothgildloc wrote:

Surely "on behalf of" is a prepositional phrase. "Me" would be perfectly correct, no?echomikeromeo wrote:I'll try not to get offended on behalf of me and my friends, who I would say are eminently intelligent and well-adjusted.

You know that in Latin, grammatical person agrees with the first person rather than the second and the second person rather than the third: Et ego et tu manus sustulimus. Also, for "Gaius and I" the Romans said Ego et Gaius. In the words of Bradley's Arnold, "When therefore Cardinal Wolsey said "Ego et rex meus" he was a good grammarian but a bad courtier". Interesting, eh?Bert wrote:"on behalf of my friends and me" is what I would go for. Me last out of courtesy.Turpissimus wrote:Surely "on behalf of" is a prepositional phrase.

"Me" would be correct. Actually "myself" might be better, since "I" was the subject, after all.Turpissimus wrote:Surely "on behalf of" is a prepositional phrase.

Interesting.... In all my years I've never run across another person who chose 'psilord' for their nick. And to find that person on a greek board is oddly appropriate.Psilord79 wrote:However, when I was registering here, I found out someone arrived first as the local Psilord :evil:, and so I just tacked 79 (my birth year) to the end of it instead.
Same here. I didn't even bother checking before registering because I didn't even think someone else might ever come up with the same idea. I even thought of picking a totally different nickname, but I'm so totally used to mine I wouldn't really feel myself. How exactly did you choose it?psilord wrote:Interesting....

I've always had a particularly deep--and some who know me well might say morbid, fascination of the method and implementation of the intellect and consciousness. So, one day (in 1994, when I got my computer account) I decided that "psi" had connotations of the essence of consciousness and "lord" was to be lord and master. So, "psi-lord" was "the master of consciousness ". Truth be told, that's why I picked it.....Psilord79 wrote:How exactly did you choose it?
