I wonder whether the people I lend my notes to notice that 'administrata' is not actually a real word or if they just accept it

@Satsuma No issues with that word... "things having been administered/executed/performed" (perfect active participle, neuter nominative/accusative/vocative plural of Latin administrare, "to administrate, perform, execute"). Go for it!

@greyor oh I realized no one could stop me from inflecting things however I want a long time ago! But it is funny when I share notes with people because it's usually the first section header which makes it especially noticeable

@Satsuma haha true that! not saying you need permission by any means :) I am sure people find it interesting at least.

I was in the Classics PhD/academia bubble for so long that none of this seemed weird until I got outside of it, and realized, no, not everyone around me knows Latin and Greek, and it is "weird." But I'm OK with that; makes for a good conversation starter at least.

@greyor i took two years of it actually! One upside of catholic school :)

@Satsuma that's awesome! Definitely not as common though and always happy to know fellow Latin nerds 🤓😎
