Oh Steve, I'm sure you know and are only teasing, but phenomena is the plural form of phenomenon. One can't have a phenomena!

I had to scramble up a Latin 'O' level in only two years, as I'd decided to go to Edinburgh Uni and Latin was part of the Attestation of Fitness to enter the Arts Faculty Linguistics course. A fantastic and very posh teacher at my grammar school, Miss Bailey-Reynolds (an Oxford graduate and rowing blue) undertook to get me through it with good old Kennedy's Latin Primer. I got grade 3, and remember nothing of the literature (Omnia Gallia in tres partes divisa est...?) but good old Miss Bailey-Reynolds had all the cribs and encouraged me to cheat by learning them in English. She did all this in her own time, one-to-one, and I bless her to this day. She had teeth that stuck out horribly and rather resembled a horse, but I really loved her.

PS Don't you just hate eye-dillick for idyllic?
