Thank you for your recent letter and your apology. It was quite unnecessary and I don’t want you to fret too much. I barely noticed that my name was spelled wrong. I was too busy enjoying those people who would see that I had graduated in ‘ 63 [rather than 1973] and hopefully thinking “she doesn’t look too bad for a 71-year-old broad. Why she doesn’t look a day over 61!”
The Latin expression NOTA BENE!, meaning “Mark well!,” consists of an imperative verb form and an adverb. You cannot pluralize it by adding an “s” to NOTA. Even if you could, what would it mean?
Concerning UF Moot CourtAs University of Florida Law graduates and chairman and co-chairman of the moot court team from the Class of 1988, we both read your fall 2008 edition of UF LAW with great interest. The appearance of Chief Justice Roberts is an incredible accomplishment for our alma mater. However, the caption under the chief justice’s photograph, which reads that his participation “marks the first time in the UF moot court’s nearly 100-year history that a justice of the United States Supreme Court” had participated on the panel of a final four, is in error.
If YOU have commentary, whether exegetic or approbatory, we want to know! Send your letter to the editor — bearing in mind submissions will be edited for style, grammar and length — to Lindy Brounley, UF LAW Editor, UF Law Communications, P.O. Box 117633, Gainesville, FL 32611-7633, or e-mail it to Brounley@law.ufl.edu.
