Talk:Locum

Does the Danish toilet definition really belong on this page? 114.165.137.189 (talk) 02:35, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

/* Advantages and disadvantages */ "Loca" changed to "locums" (four times). "Loca" was an attempt to pluralize "locum" as if it were the nominative case of a second-declension Latin noun (cf. bellum, bella [war]). Actually "locum" is the accusative case form of "locus," which has no form "loca." "Locums" may look ugly but is no worse than "operas."

Locum is never used in Canada or the U.S. This needs to be changed in the text. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.164.19.151 (talk) 16:50, 4 August 2017 (UTC)
