I never said that, although if I am inspired, it obviously has had an effect on me personally, so that statement is true. But it wouldn't have to affect me apart from the inspiration. I sometimes draw inspiration from things I read or hear about, which have happened in the past or in other parts of the world and which don't have a direct influence on my life.
Originally posted by SuzianneI was just wondering why you wanted to change the "cave" ("beware!" ) into "caveat" ("he/she should beware" ). It sounded like you thought it shouldn't be addressed to you, but someone else.
lol... ok, sorry for the confusion, my latin is rudimentary, at best.
But I guess my answear stands... who should beware? all of the snarling dogs 🙂
Men I can handle... snarling dogs have little higher thinking going on.
Cavete canes!

Originally posted by Nordlysahhh, I see... well, I was trying to say "the dogs should beware" or "let the dogs beware", much like "caveat emptor"...
