>>PS -- Just as an aside, the word "penultimate" has to be among the most misused words in the English language. People use it all the time as "more than ultimate." (Huh?) In fact it means second.

>IIRC, it means second, when counting backwards. We call that "pretposlednji" - the pre-last, or fore-last, i.e. the one before the very last one. I guess English must have had its own word for that once upon a time, but unfortunately ditched it in favor of Latin.

Good one, LOL. My mistake. You and Hugo both busted me. Maybe this will teach me to stop going professorial and "explaining" things.
