English is just such a hugh gumbo of other languages that it is no wonder that it is so confusing. Even something as simple as taking “four” and multiplying it by ten gives us “forty”, not “fourty.”

Answer to your question.
Thanks for that…I like the Latin better! Should have left the “b” in it instead of putting in the “v”. The Gubernator!
Here is the South, it can be referred to as a “Goobernatorial” election.
Thanks for the link! I immediately added that to my References folder in my favorites.
