Celer et Audax

[Edward Campbell]

It's been a long, looooong time since I was a schoolboy and perhaps our knowledge of how Latin was spoken has improved, but I learned that it was pronounced something like "Keeler." I remember a bit of doggerel verse designed to keep us on track with the C words: "Cato, Plato Cicero (pronounced kick-ero), they all make me sickero."

But maybe the knowledge of the classics has advanced while I wasn't looking ~ and it's been way more than a half century since I gave even the tiniest if damns.
