Here is where I went wrong! I shouldn't have been lazy and posted my question on here (I've now had a look in the dictionary).

Ah, no. It's a perfectly reasonable question. I would have enjoyed giving the answer about classical languages, but someone beat me too it. If everyone took that attitude we'd have no forum at all.

well! what does it stand for? what are the origins

ex-

prefix, in Eng. meaning mainly "out of, from," but also "upwards, completely, deprive of, without," and "former;" from L. ex "out of," from PIE *eghs "out" (cf. Gaul. ex-, O.Ir. ess-, O.C.S. izu, Rus. iz). In some cases also from Gk. cognate ex, ek. It has stood on its own since 1929 as abbreviation for ex-wife, ex-husband, etc.
 
Origin:  < Latin,  combining form of ex, ē  (preposition) out (of), from, beyond
 
Nicola could have told you that though! ;-)

This has to be one of the most stupid threads I have ever seen on a forum.

Easy it would be  43/50  or 43

Its just the same as scoring a metric archery round        you all know what the expected score can be if you got all targets   or tens in archery  

we even have FITA to contend with in Archery .
