ok i read it. just because someone prints something in a book doesn't make it true. that person's knowledge of latin is just simply non existent. its wrong.
i have already explained and shown that vitamin comes from vita and amine. the 'amin' in vitamin comes from 'amine' which in turns comes from ammonia. liquid and minimus are not involved. even if the word 'minimus' was somehow involved (which its not), you can see that minimus doesn't imply liquid at all.

quintessential is one who "strains the nat" and enjoys expounding on academics. I'll leave his post for everyone to read. However, because of his argumentative nature and the result of his creating a hostile environment not being conducive to learning, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ban him forever to the Halls of Academia where he and his Think Tank buddies can wallow in the circles of their minds.
