    Well, since the word is Italian rather than Latin, I would take a wild stab at the singular being cognoscento.

    Yes but ....

    I am concerned on the views about the Tartan of the kilt worn by Colin Firth when playing the Duke of York in the film. I have to admit I was absorbed in story for the whole time the film lasted. The story was good and well acted
    and minor details like that were frankly irrelevant.

    If you want accuracy then the events at Balmoral actually took place in the summer of 1936 when there would have been no snow.....
