Dear Arnold et al.,
First of all, you corrected my name incorrectly: it's Rosemarie, not
Rosemary.
Second, even when you nasalize the G in "ing," it doesn't sound like a K.
Third, even when it was written, it was "think." I never heard OR saw it as
"thing." Given the facetious tone of the sentence, "think" makes sense and
"thing" really doesn't.
Rosemarie
Quidquid latine dictum sit altum videtur: Anything said in Latin sounds
profound!
