pecuniary. a good word.

I love the Latin word pecunia, pecuniae (f., noun, money, first declension) and I also enjoy how similar our word "pecuniary" is to the original Latin. (And, what a Latin Geek I am! But a well-taught Latin Geek, because I can't give a vocabulary word without stating the nomininative, genitive, gender, part of speech and English translation. Like, I'd know you were a total Latin Poser if you just said "pecunia is Latin for money."

I just like saying the word, "pecuniary." It's just a satisfying, wholesome word to say. I encourage others to add it to their vocabulary, if they haven't yet.

That it is all I mean to say with this post. Thank you.
