I have discovered possibly best thing ever:
Skype allows its users to talk to each other completely for free, from anywhere in the world via the internet. This is clearly, despite one of the most convenient new additions to our technological age, an incredible tool to exchange our Greek and Latin languages.
In addition, one can call via Skype to any normal landline or moble phone, and it costs an amount ridiculously cheep. For example, myself, calling from Italy to my parents in the US, I have to pay €10 for just 80 minutes. With Skype, it’s €10 for 10 hours. Unbelievable. Absolutely incredible. Suddenly an extraordinary cost and burden is lifted.
The interface, I might add, is rather beautiful, at least on a Mac.
I would also like to propose, in our Agoric conversations at least, a classicization of the name, that is, forming the word “Skype” in Latin as if it were a Greek ‘eta’ declension:
N. Skypē [with a long ‘y’ that I am not able to mark]
G. Skypēs
D. Skypae
Acc. Skypēn
Ab. Skypē
V. Skypē
Just as in the Latin word “epitome”:
epitomē
epitomēs
epitomae
epitomēn
epitomē
epitomē
And moreover, the original, reverse-engineered Greek:
[size=134]Σκυ8πη
Σκυ8πης
Σκυ8πῃ
Σκυ8πην
Σκυ8πη[/size]
Valeatis ac uocetisquam frequentissime.
