"Collateral Descendant"

Legg inn av D. Spencer Hines » 19 mar 2005 20:30:03

New Subject -- New Discussion

English 101...

One can say that C and D are collateral descendants stemming from the
same two ancestors, A and B.

All collateral descendants from these two common ancestors, A and B, are
DIRECT.

One cannot be "collaterally descended" from some ancestor, a given A or
B.

"Populus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur. Odi profanum vulgus et arceo."

Quintus Aurelius Stultus [33 B.C. - 42 A.D.]

Prosecutio stultitiae est gravis vexatio, executio stultitiae coronat
opus.

Yep...

Smyth tries to throw in ANOTHER:

RED HERRING.

He and Gordo make quite a pair.

First & Second Banana of SGM -- at present.

"Collateral Relative" is not nonsense.

This belongs in the other thread, so I'm putting it there.

| Dear Richard,
|
| The subject is "Direct" not collateral. We cannot say as Richard
Davenport
| did
| "Bela Lugosi made his mark on film by portraying one of Prince
Charles's
| most infamous ancestors.....Dracula is NOT and ancestor directly or
| indirectly, he is fullstop not an ancestor.
|
| You bring in another term "relative" the subject is Descendant (and
the
| reverse: ancestor)
| We are talking about ancestors or descendants, not relatives, you are
| widening the scope and so, I think, confuse the matter at hand.
| Best wishes
| Leo
