          I usually use a water based primer before putting on a second coat. Make sure you clean the surface first.

                would it be grammar? vocabulary? literature? history of? any dialects? what would be your favorite author? and what era are you aiming for? (Latin evolved like any other language). will you be covering newfangled vocabulary, that implies terms for current technologies including IT? and most importantly: does it include Latin CCC puzzles? are we going to get homework assignments? exams? a certificate? :)

                        You'll do better (on wood, at least) to use an oil-based primer, followed by a latex colorcoat. The oil primers penetrate the wood fibers better and grip longer than the latex paints. But once the primer is laid down, the latex bonds to it tightly and lasts a long time without further maintenance. On metals, either bonds well, but the oil-based compounds dry harder and have greater scratch resistance. And on plastics, latex is the only way to go, since the volatile binders and solvents tend to damage the underlying surface, and often just roll off the surface.

                            How about French or something - it could help us 'Asians' learn a foreign language (which is actually spoken and used). Oh wait a minute - I forgot, the English hate the French. :)

                                    pig latin? Actually, not a bad idea: have always regretted not keeping up with my schoolboy Latin (or Greek, for that matter). I recall very little so something gentle to jog my ancient memory would be most appreciated.

                                      o.0 A bunch of nerds, most of them English, interested in dog handling? I really can't see that working. Ever since the Queen banned fox hunting there's really no reason to get a dog.

                                        I think I just found someone more bored than I am. :D Although in my defense, I wanted to read the World of Watches series, so learning Russian was a good idea. The whiskey had nothing to do with it. Latin is fun though, you get to read Naturalis Historia in the original Latin. Useless really, but cool at nerd parties. Pig Latin isn't Latin though, just gibberish that makes a little bit of sense. Like English.

                                          o.0 A bunch of nerds, most of them English, interested in dog handling? I really can't see that working. Ever since the Queen banned fox hunting there's really no reason to get a dog.

                                          Lots of nerds like that in England.

                                          Er, when exactly did the Queen have the power to do that?

                                          I must get a clever new signature for 2011.
