Re: Mundane?

Mundane: of or pertaining to this world or earth as contrasted with heaven.

I know you probably realise this, though some contributors might not immediately make that connection, so I though it bore repetition. I know the word has other connotations, but so do a lot of words. Some creatively-minded folk often like to try and remind readers of a word's origins and I think this is just one more example.

In the end, many words lose or transform their meanings. Frankly, the prospect of it makes me feel quite gay.
