That's the case here as well. I never knew "cum" could be anything but cum.Â
Well no harm done, just thought it was a typo and not a way of actually writing something.Â
Haha good luck anyways!
"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cum may refer to:
A Latin word, which can be either the preposition with or a conjunction meaning when, because, or although.
An English linking word, derived from the Latin word for 'with.' It is used in many place names in England as well as in everyday English - e.g. Prestwich-cum-Oldham
cum tempore (with time); notation used at universities in German, Austrian, Swiss and Scandinavian countries for starting 15 minutes late.
Referring to diplomas and degrees: cum laude (with praise), magna cum laude (with great praise); maxima cum laude (with maximal praise); summa cum laude (with highest praise); egregia cum laude (with outstanding praise)"
It's the first one <3 A linking word. The More You Know!
