Hello from Wales

**cenydd** · 21-07-2009, 03:58 PM

Having lurked about a little to get a feel for the place, I guess I should introduce myself and say hello. I am a Welshman and Plaid Supporter (so, yes - what you might term a 'nationalist', but not in the right wing, xenophobic context!), with generally left of centre-ish political views.

Hello!

Hello and Welcome.

I see you have already scoped out the rules and guide to good posting, so I look forward to your contributions. The viewpoint of Welsh 'nationalists' is badly under-represented here so I am especially pleased to welcome you.

Any questions or comments please get in touch with any of the moderating team which is: Myself, Opinionated (no longer 74 I notice??), Midas and DougieG

Best Wishes
MN

Thanks. I will add the perspective of a Welsh 'Nationalist' as best I can, and hopefully avoid breaking any rules. I'm used to posting on various other forums (fora, possibly? My latin is more than a little rusty!) and haven't been banned from any yet, so fingers crossed on that!

I think fora is correct in Latin (my latin is a little rusty and all) butI don't think the latin plural has survived into English (unlike Cactus and Octopus - only examples that come to mind). Do I know you from UK Debate, per chance?

I don't recall ever visiting that one, but I am on a few other politics type forums (fora, forii!), including politicalforum.com and democracyforum.co.uk, as well as a number of dog-related and music-related ones. I tend to use the same username for most of them, so I'm quite easy to spot.

The only plural from a latin word that always sounds wrong to me is 'stadiums', for some reason - 'stadia' sounds so much better! It's just me being overly pedantic though!

Welcome to the forum, cenydd! I hope you have a good time here. If in doubt about anything, I'll echo MN in saying feel free to send any of us a PM and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

I'll add my own welcome to the forum too cenydd.

If you haven't read the rules yet, please do; you can find them here. Knowing what’s appropriate and what isn’t can save everyone a great deal of hassle! You might also find the Guide to Good Posting useful. Also please respect other people’s views; they mightn’t be the same as yours but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re wrong, just different.

Enjoy your dicussions here.
