Just some website I found that had translations. It had vrtnica listed as well, but I was afraid that might be some kind of unusual use of the term that depended on context or something. The websites aren't so good with translating whole sentances because they depend so much on context. You need people for that still. Although the computers are getting better at is. Roža looked close, so I went for the easy one, which was wrong of course.

As to your other points, all good ones. See my later Posts and you will see I've come around to accepting your point of view pretty much. Although I still don't like it.

I didn't realize Luna was still used for moon in some latin Languages. The nice thing about using latin for scientific terms is its a dead language, so you don't end up using words that mean something else in a different language. But since Luna is still being used that doesn't really work the way I thought it would in this case. It solves the problem for me, but causes the problem for everyone already using luna to mean moon.

So, more weight to the Bob idea.

Laws yes. M O O N spells Moon!
