    hello sweet Marina

    I have a word request

    I would like to know the origins of the word “salt”

    it has something to do with the greek word “alas” that went on to the Romans – and as the Roman soldiers were paid with salt it became the english word “salt” and “salary”

    interesting,right?

    thank you!

    Hi, Marina…I would like you to do a lesson on “perspicacious.” I’m a teacher and I love the way you do the etymology. Hey, there’s another good word for you, especially since you’re so good at it!

    I would also like to know the origin of the word incorporation :smile:

    And if not that, then a word I’ve been wondering about is: preliminary.

    Marina, Word Request: Incorporation

    Did you know that an incorporation is treated the same as a person under the law, as a live entity, How can this be when its just words on paper? No eyes too see with, no ears too hear with, no blood to bleed with, so should an incorporation have the same rights that a natural flesh and bone entity enjoy?
