I do not know the appropriate Latin usage of simul, so I don't actually know where this answer went astray -- but I still disagree with its prescription for English usage. :-) | |

| Sep 17, 2021 at 12:21 | comment | added | David K | The meaning of an English word derived from a Latin word can vary considerably from the meaning of the original Latin word. English has taken the "at the same time" meaning from simul but has discarded the connotation "together." The idea that simultaneous events must occur in the same building is simply absurd. | |
