Not a good plan.

[swestrup]

So, I was thinking of a web site that would host a number of pro-walking, pro-hiking services. Things like gmap-pedometer and such. The question is, what to call it? Latin always adds a touch of class. So a lover of walking would be pedis (foot) combined with philio (love of) for ... pedophile. Hmm. So not a good plan. Besides, I'm sure its taken.

It's all because the godless heathen americans gave us keyboards with no AE key.

I feel obliged to point out that -phile is Greek, while ped(i)- is Latin. Even if you mixed Greek and Latin roots it would be pediphile. Using Greek roots, podophile.

Ah, good. I had hoped I had gotten it wrong in such a way. Maybe there is some name salvaging that can be done.

Actually, since my ability with Greek and Latin roots is so obviously messed up, what would you recommend as possible words for 'love of walking'?
