n some English schools the first syllable in "panis" sounds "pan,"
in others "pain." If an English word derived from a foreign word (or
from the same root) occurs to you, use it; but do not spend time hunting
for derivations. Unfamiliar words are no help; do not think the word
"panification" will help you to "panis," because it is an English word
meaning "bread-making," and you are an Englishman. You would be much
wiser to try to remember the English "panification" by the aid of the
Latin "panis," than _vice-versa_, that is, if any mortal ever does want
to remember that pedantic dictionary word.
1. If "mendicants" are known to be liars, why could not "false
pretences" be omitted?
2. If "vaccination" means inoculating with "cowpox," why could not
"cowpox" be omitted?
3. If "broken" neck means a violent death, why not omit "kill by
hanging"?
4. Ought not "billing and cooing" to be inserted after "Dove"?
5. What relation is there between "married love" and "United
States"?
6. If "musical" be added to "notes," why could not "musical signs"
be omitted?
7. If "scribbler" is a writer, why could not "bad writer" be
omitted?
