It's from the Latin alphabet, "V" and "U" were used interchangeably.

It was an optimistic guess........ especially with the 'V is for Victory' article on the revamped Animal packaging.

In all honesty, i could be wrong. Think J-Dawg will be able to clarify.

It's something that was used for a long time in ancient writings, and I like to think of it as reference to warriors like the Trojans and Gladiators.

I can understand the latin. Hence our titles are "plebian", "Legionary", and "Gladius". Ancient warrior types from the Iron age.

Damn, your onto something there!

Would be funny tho if J-Dawg revealed the spelling of Forvm was simply due to the hiring of a dyslexic web designer.

Gladius was the short sword... not to be overly picky. But yeah... as was mentioned, GK was spot on.

A generalisation in relation to all the myths we try bust, like why there are 44packs in PAK.

Wasn't there a thread on this?... like one myth was something like... Supposing you train 4 days a week, and 3 days off... you'd use 2 packs on training days and 1 on none training days... so the total number of training days in a month is approx. 16, and non-training days is 12. 16x2=32. plus 12 is 44. So it's exactly the amount of packs you'd need for a month!

Any other possibilities?
