it’s pronounced that way in Latin, but when used in English, like “it was a park-cum-wildlife-sanctuary” - it’s pronounced like “come” with a schwa.

People’s memories of school are unreliable and I’m seeing a few comments about how we were “only” taught a couple of things in school.

Here is the current UK history lesson curriculum, summarized

key stage 1

changes within living memory – where appropriate, these should be used to reveal aspects of change in national life

events beyond living memory that are significant nationally or globally for example, the Great Fire of London, the first aeroplane flight or events commemorated through festivals or anniversaries

the lives of significant individuals in the past who have contributed to national and international achievements, some should be used to compare aspects of life in different periods for example, Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria, Christopher Columbus and Neil Armstrong, William Caxton and Tim Berners-Lee, Pieter Bruegel the Elder and LS Lowry, Rosa Parks and Emily Davison, Mary Seacole and/or Florence Nightingale and Edith Cavell

key stage 2

iron age

Romans

anglo-saxons / Scots

Vikings

Edward the confessor

a local history study of an event after 1066, but can include influence from before e.g. the impact of greco-Roman culture on the medieval period

early civilization (usually egypt)

ancient Greece

ancient non-european culture (usally Islam, Benin or Mayan)

key stage 3

British history in the following epochs:

years 1066 thru 1509

1509 thru 1745

1745 thru 1901

1901 thru modern day

plus at least one non-european study and it’s interconnections to world history

with his Mason ring and Schnauzer and his perfect hands

no one cares for the classics any more 🥲

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

other way around. constans, constantis, constanti, constantem etc in Latin - meaning steadfast - derives from PIE.
