I'm sure a lot of you have heard about Team Domino's newest fort, Fort Vincere. According to the page, Vincere is quoted as meaning the noun, "win".

That is false. Vincere, means "to conquer". As such, no subject is implied, so it would be implied as to conquer the fort. Therefore, Team Domino's Fort is Fort Conquered.

Natural is an adjective. In Latin, that would mean it is followed by a noun.

So it would either be this, this, or this:

Fort Nature
Natural Fort
Fort Natural Woman (this is used, becuase the natura is declensioned as feminine)

I named my fort Delere which means "destroy". Would that be a mistake?

I know Delorem means pain...

I need to look up Delere.

Just as a Latin tip:
Everything that ends in -ere or -are is a verb, in Latin.

It's *not* the same thing.

First, one is a noun, the other is a verb.

Second, the meanings are different.

It's a mistake, and I love correcting people who sound smart by using google translate. Correcting Latin, is a pastime for me.

And for the verb vs noun, item? Win, or victory, do have latin noun forms.

Victoria - Victory, is one.

The words you listed are misunderstood as being similar to "sound".
The point I tried to make in my last was that you need to stop correcting people so aggressively.

I have no issue with a little fun; but don't over do it.

Over doing things doesn't always lead anywhere preferable.

The forum has a distaste for TD, so I am catering to that by pointing out one of their mistakes. I don't see any fault in my actions.
