A number of local councils in Britain have banned Latin words, because they say they might confuse people.Some local councils say using Latin is elitist and discriminatory, because some people might not understand it - particularly if English is not their first language.But the ban has prompted anger among some Latin scholars.

After 300 years  archaeologists have finally confirmed the campsite of castaway Alexander Selkirk, thought to be the inspiration for Robinson Crusoe.

An article in the journal Post-Medieval Archaeology claims that an archaeological dig on the Argentinian island of Aguas Buenas, 470 miles off the Chilean coast, reveals evidence of the campsite of an early European occupant.
They believe this demonstrates  Selkirk’s presence on the island, some objects have belonged to a ship’s navigator or master.
Three hundred years after Alexander Selkirk, the castaway who was the inspiration for the fictional Robinson Crusoe, was marooned on an island off the coast of Chile, archaeologists are sure that they have unearthed evidence of his campsite.
