Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 10/21/2008 10:24 am Switzerland. "Helvetica" or "Helvetia" is the old Roman/Latin name for Switzerland. Switzerland is a multi-ethnic and multi-lingual country, so "neutral" Latin is used instead. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

A tab might have been open a few minutes before I get a chance submit a reply.
