[Taxacom] latin out of botany

[Jacques Melot]

  Le 20/07/11, ? 12:38 +0200, nous recevions de Donat Agosti :

>I understand it is a Latin OR English, and not English AND Latin,


[J. M.]   Mauvais raisonnement ! ??Latin or 
English ? ne signifie pas ??either Latin or 
English??. Par cons?quent, cela peut ?tre : 
??Latin and English??.

    Mais ne nous y trompons pas : la mort du latin 
est amorc?e, au nom de l'h?g?monie anglo-saxonne 
sous le pr?texte de simplication. Cet article a 
avant tout une port?e politico-culturelle et 
n'est donc pas conforme ? l'esprit du Code de 
nomenclature.
