Nescio is Latin for 'I don't know.' Experience tells me that to most of us that "seems to be the hardest word." Feel free to suggest or comment. Always happy to learn.

Nescio is my way of saying: 'don't be arrogant you are not the keeper of the truth.' It of course refers to Socrates who demonstrated the principle some time ago, Manuel from Fawlty Towers and Nescio the Dutch writer.
