I still don't get it. How was it used again? Nil admirari is to be surprised by nothing--a well tempered precept... to be calm emotionally.
I don't see how it fit into the sentence. Was it used in a negative intonation? If so, doesn't make a whole lot of sense. anyway....

is this person always use this 'word'? looks to me it's really not necessary to use such a word in general work related email.

JC said...

I have never seen these words before, but then I am not good in languages either.
