etymology - English Language Usage Stack Exchange Possibly worth mentioning the commonly accepted - but incorrect - belief that the insertion of Julius and Augustus Caesar's months bumped the 7th-10th months up by two Especially as the months that were replaced by July and August were 'Quintillis' and 'Sextillis' with obvious links to their 5th and 6th positions in the previous calendar
phrase requests - Word for declining to answer - English Language . . . Other than your one example of declining to answer a personal question asked by a standup comedian ("Can't say"), is the context in an everyday conversation? media interview? police interrogation? exam? There are different words phrases, and also by country (e g US Fifth Amendment)
etymology - What comes after (Primary,unary), (secondary,binary . . .
