<p>Perennial flowers will survive through and through, inspite of all the weather changes. </p>
<p>Biennial/biannual(sorry to use both words, but I think we should recognize the difference between these two words)</p>
<p>I agree, it is important to be able to differentiate between the two!
(I have tied biennial with the centennial which is once every 100 years so I never forget it ;))</p>
<p>A new IB generation gets its diploma biennially.
I've always hated the dentist so I only visit him biannually. </p>

<p>did you know that the latin word for **panegyric **is related to the word greek word agora? they both have to do with public places</p>
<p>lapidate</p>
<p>The coldhearted murderer attempted to lapidate his victim but was unsucceful because he could not garner enough rocks to cause significant harm.</p>
<p>sorry, forgot!
panacea</p>
<p>Lol!
True maributt! Panigiri (where panegyric comes from) in Greek means fair! And agora pertains to the ancient agora where the political meetings were held! Of course the prefix pan means all!</p>
<p>The summer break was a **panacea **for me. A little more school and my brain was going to melt.</p>
<p>opulent</p>
<p>P.S. Latin is made of Greek words in virtually 95% of all cases. The Romans were farmers before they became conquerors, and of course they integrated Greek language into their own-they did not have words to express ideas, and so on and so forth...it's only natural that Greek resembles Latin, after all Greek is the root of Latin. You'd be surprised how many words we have in common. An anecdote: there was a debate on whether or not Greek words should be eliminated from the French language. So this guy wrote a speech in Greek using French words, and he read it (in Greek). And everybody understood it. Debate over.</p>
<p>The fat lady had a lot of gold coins and rings on her tubby fingers because she was so opulent</p>
