75%. Pah.

Anyway, some of them are wrong - volcano, explore, and possibly carnival, are Latin in origin. So there. Harrumph.

StealthPolarBear · 19/11/2007 07:03

41% which was pretty good as they were almost all guesses!

PrettyCandles · 19/11/2007 08:44

Latin in origin, but brought into the English language directly from Spanish. [pontificates]
