Pronounced en-once, or nonce?
In the UK a nonce is a paedo. Good luck pronouncing it the second way in the UK!

Of course, I agree with you Pete, but, it is interesting to note that in Cicero's writings he explains that the use of nobiscum is a work-around to avoid the possible use of cum nobis because, when spoken, the "m" and "n" are elided into an "n," and the resulting word was obscene.
In our times, editors vary in terms of whether Magna cum Laude and such must be set in an Italic font-face. Harvard Law School's resume format guide says they should be both italicized, and, in lower-case.

The "potential obscenity" of the word cum has a long history: see my response to Pete O'Hanlon here.

Watching a video and saw a Firefighter Lieutenant with the name Les McBurney.
Seriously.
Here's a news article referencing him[^]

And let's not forget Sheriff Buford T. Justice[^], who we know as fictional character, but:
Quote: "Buford T. Justice" was the name of a real Florida Highway Patrolman known to Burt Reynolds' father, who himself was once Chief of Police of Jupiter, Florida.

That's almost as bad as 'Bad Lieutenant' (movie featuring Harvey Keitel)
Do you also think it is strange how in the US Lieutenant is pronounced as 'Leftenant' ...
By the way, I liked the movie !

Quote: in the USUK Lieutenant is pronounced as 'Leftenant'
FTFY - seriously!
In the US it is pronounced "Loo-tenant" - like someone who spends all their time in the toilet.

Thank you, I think your reply is of a highly educational value 
But I was hoping for more Canadian reactions, they should now about this issue and could shed more light on the matter ...

I just made and laid about 4 tonnes of concrete this morning, started at 6:30 am to avoid the heat, and now I feel like sh*t. Throat is swollen, body is absoloutely knackered, stiff, cant walk properly.
I hope red wine is a cure, here goes a bottle!

I would say that's a symptom of age, not work. 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

You could be right, but then I never was one who liked physical work that much. 
At 51 it starts to bite hard.

When you reach 75, you hope your wife is going to do it. That never happens so it costs.

"Liked it" or "did it"? If you just installed that much concrete and were not much on physical labor, no wonder you're hurting. I'm guessing in a day or two (these things take time to develop properly, you know), you'll be shrieking in agony.

You might have burned out your central nervous system if you feel extremely weak even after an extended break (10m+) such as having trouble walking, picking up heavy things, grip strength, etc. You'll be back to normal-ish in a day or two if that's the case.
