So if it's Pentecoste* because the Holy Ghost came among the disciples of Christ, and they were able to suddenly speak and understand all sorts of languages --- does that mean Holy Ghost = Universal Grammar?

Ok, perhaps this post should be titled "Thoughts linguists get when they're slightly drunk".

*hides*

*Yes, I know that the correct English spelling would be Pentecost, but the Greek is Pentekoste, so I can damn well stick an "e" to the word if I feel like it.

There -are- worse things one could get in terms of thoughts when slightly inebriated... ;)

And you could always call it "Whit", if you wanted to avoid the E :)
