My Old Statii - where are they now ?

[JohnFitzgerald]

Some pics of the time when I had these lovelys.

Anyone think they might have one of them now ?

They were repsectively, an S1 bolted on headed, a series 3000 bolt on headless with side LEDs and a Groove 5 string in sunburst. Pics hopefully attached.

Anyone spotted them around ?

I have long since domesticated their value for such fripperies as annual holidays, car repairs and the like.

Here we go.

I'm saw I saw one of those not long ago but I can't remember where I saw it but I'm really sure I saw one

Inga is going for the title of Monarch of the Zombies.

These days you can probably put the pics in AI and it will be able to scour the internet and find potential matches

The plural of Status is Statuses. A group of Statuses is called a reputation.

yet the old forum of Status owners used to collectively call them Statii - but what do they know eh?

[Hellzero]

Funnily, in Latin, the plural form of status is still ... status, in the nominative form and it can never become statii, which doesn't exist.

 

But what do they know, indeed. 🤔🤪

[Hellzero]

Couldn't resist...

status: factum in Camulodunum

[Hellzero]

In fact, it would be better and more accurate so, as Colchester must be declined in the genitive and factum rejected at the end:

 

Status : Camuloduni factum.

 

Latin and Greek classical studies leave deep scars...

I studied latin for a few years and the 2nd declension, nominative plural does end in I. So Servus (which means slave) becomes Servi

But Status is actually a name, so maybe it's different

[Hellzero]

You got it.

[Hellzero]

And even if you were using the word status instead of the name, it belongs to the fourth declension, so nominative plural is still status and statii still doesn't exist in this declension. 😉

[Hellzero]

Makes me want to go back to Latin now... 🤔🤦🏻😂

You could probably still take out a private prosecution against that teacher you know. (Just sayin')

Hélas, they are both dead now, but I still can prosecute their children ... isn't it.

They would use this thread as defence - that even though learning was hard it seemingly brought you great joy later in life

Status is 4th declension, IIRC like manuus (hand).

 

Edit: And virus (fog or miasma).

 

Which reminds me, a rather ill-educated feminist I once met was all offended at the fact that handbooks were called "manuals".

why is it 4th declension and not 2nd? (btw I'm really interested in this stuff) I quite enjoyed latin at shool, our teacher taught us a lot of proper English grammar

Because of its genitive form.

And, by the way...

again, why? Why is the genitive Status  (4th) and not Stati (2nd)

It was the only url available or that Andre could afford at the time he set up statii.com?
