S'arright.  It only irks me because I know a smattering of Latin myself--just enough to halfway understand most of them, and then I have to go rifle the dictionary to figure out the rest.  If I knew no Latin at all, I'd just be suitably impressed and leave it at that.

Good point, but in this case I thought it seemed a fair trade for making the game more interesting.  I figure the time and effort to provide commentary should just about match the effort of keeping up with GremBall.  

And I'd rather exempt someone from GremBall for an nweek than hand out free points just for being chosen as Commentator at random.  

Besides, we have so much Grid stuff now that exemption from just one thing isn't really much of an exemption.

Good call.  Thanks!
