I learn something new on this list all the time.  I had no idea that this
was the case with prepositional phrases in Latin, and I took it in both
high school and in college --all the way through Vergil, plus a course in
Medieval Latin.  I really do begin to wonder what they *didn't* neglect to
teach me in school.  <sigh>
