Originally by: Huurtney Gurdsen Latin, like French and German, is over complex and silly.
Unlike French and German, it is dead.
I think the originator of this thread is being perantic.
If you're going to be a pedant and chide someone for being pedantic, at least SPELL IT CORRECTLY.

Something tells me my name should be 'Bellum Eternum' instead of what it is. I was going for 'war forever' or 'eternal war/fight/conflict' etc. How badly did I screw it up, and does it even matter for a proper noun like a name?
jna?

Yes, you should be Bellum Eternum.
Yup, F'Nog has it absolutely right. You need to agree the 2nd declension adjective "Eternus" (Properly Aeturnus with the ellipsed AE) to the neuter noun "bellum". Sadly it does matter for nouns of all sorts, otherwise it's very much "People called Romanes they go the house?" Along the lines of "A war! Something is eternal, but definitely not the war I just mentioned."
Rats! I wonder if I can petition a name change so that it's proper latin?
