 Mmmh Thanks for the replies, guys, but on second thought, I think I'll have to go with Latin. I'm not sure the program I'm using will have 100% compatibility with the greek alphabet. And I kinda used to have a grasp on latin, anyway, so I get to have more control on what I'm doing. Or trying to do, anyway.


Unfortunately my Latin is still at a rather basic level since I haven't been focusing on it. Though I am curious what you're trying to do. Could I get a pm about it too?

Sfortunatamente il mia Latina è non buona. Ma sono curiosa quello che stai tenta di fare. Potrei avere un pm al riguardo anche?

I think CP3S has a grasp on ancient Greek, though I haven't seen him around here for a long time.

Why? I know of several people who could, but whether or not they'd be willing to do so is questionable.

If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place

Right, this one's a cracker! I finish dinner, go to the loo to wash me hands, turn the light on without looking, put one foot in the room and almost break my fucking arse!! Apparently during dinner a pipe decided to break and flood the bathroom floor. Now, the bloody thing is inside the wall, every other fixture is bone dry, we had to close the main valve and now we have to wait til morning when the plumber will come. Until further notice, we have to use bottled water to wash ourselves. FUCKING BRILLIANT!!!

"The Stanford Prison Experiment,"  a famous sociology experiment, proved nothing except that people have no idea how a good experiment is designed. 

When you bring it up, and I rip every single aspect of the experiment to shreds, you can't follow up with "Yeah, but don't you agree with the results anyways?"

 I've studied it for uni and found it fascinating. I'm interested in hearing your rebuttal.

It's not about people being good or bad. It's the 'experiment' itself was flawed on so many levels it's not even worth reading about.

-Sample size was 24 white male Stanford students.  This is so unacceptably small as to make the experiment worthless out of hand.

-Self selection. All the volunteers specifically came in because they were attracted to an experiment about prisons. This alone would make any results borderline meaningless. 

-No control group. No pre-testing. No repeatablility.

-But the main kicker for me is overwhelming bias. Zimbardo, the experimenter, specifically wanted to prove people were bad. Then he himself took a play-acting role in the experiment guiding the process. That alone makes all his results garbage.

He should have designed the experiment, then not even been involved. To jump in and manipulate it as "The Warden" changed it from science to really intense LARPing.

It wasn't an experiment by any real scientific standard. It was a publicity stunt 

 I have to agree with all of those points.
