The word sinister comes directly from the Latin word for Left which is "sinister". This word was well before the christian concept of a devil. So maybe you need to revise this derivation?Originally Posted by Banditbandit

See how easy mis-communication between us is ....Your intepretation of what I said is faulted....

"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."
The instructions are simple...
And how important the rules of grammar can be...
"Help your Uncle Jack off his horse" is not the same as "Help your Uncle jack off his horse".

Yes, I knew that much - but didn't want to go into word derivations ... I suspect, but I'm not expert, that left is the Devil's direction - which is why the English word sinister has little to do with left - but now has much to do with something menacing and evil ...
"So if you meet me, have some sympathy, have some courtesy, have some taste ..."

Excellent example - the meaning is clearer when written - but orally is wide open to misinterpretation ...
Uncle Jack is clearly into equine artificial insemination ...
