It's not the ending in this case that makes it comparitive, it's simply an irregular comparitive word by itself. > > > > > > Mark"Latinus est meliorem linguam quam aliquis linguas!

I think it's amazing how completely everybody misunderstands the question. What does it mean? Well, first, where did you read it? On money, right? So it's about money. It means take money from all the citizens, and give it to one central government. It's the American way. Any time you need the correct answer, just ask. Howard
