Great Nerds

Notes

Latin is the nerdiest language, so to make the page appear more erudite while still keeping the theme . Latin Transliteration: Nerd is not of Latin origin. When Latinizing a phrase with non-Latin words you have some freedom to choose gender for the loan word. Latin has three gender: masculine, feminine, and neuter. One does not need to contemplate long to conclude which gender to assign nerd in Latin. Neuter. It should be neuter! The plural of a neuter noun takes a feminine ending, so Magna Nerda translates back to English as Great Nerds; although, one might understandably consider The Great Female Nerd as a possible translation if you were not sure of the gender of Nerd.
