Latin vs Greek
Hello. Regarding the Greek vs Latin question in Doctor of Philosophy, I entirely agree with you that the word 'philosophy' has Greek etymological origins. However, PhD is an abbreviation for the Latin philosophiae doctor, because Latin was the language used by the mediaeval universities, and still used by the older British universities (eg Oxford, Cambridge) in official formulae (eg baccalaureus in artibus, doctor scientiae, etc). I propose to revert your recent edit to the Doctor of Philosophy article, but I just wanted to check if this was ok. -- Nicholas Jackson (talk) 09:42, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Mr Jackson So i probably got it wrong. It was the second time i changed it cause i thought it didn't work the first time. i didn't see also a message to realize you changed it back. that's fine!

(Im also new here so i hope theres no problem postin a reply to you, but if thats wrong feel free to delete my post, i'll read the guidelines for the next time, thanks)
