The T-shirt is right — either go with:
- Greek: poly for “many”, philia for “love”, or
- Latin: multi for “many”, amory for “love”
…but don’t mix the two. That way lies madness (or, perhaps the Gipsy Kings). It ain’t pretty.

Except that we do it all the time. The biggest one is Television (“…half latin, half greek – No good can come of it.” -C.P. Scott)
uh oh, greek and latin, sounds like the kardashians.
I need this shirt, so bad.
Minneapolis is Dakota (Minne = water) and Greek (polis = city).
Language is like ethnicity. The more we mix’m up the better the result.
Also “automobile”
well put, Shawn
All fine and scholarly, except for the fact that language is a living, changing thing. Stuff your shirt and your ‘roots’. Welcome to English.

Polyphilia is wrong as well, unless you’re talking about “brotherly love”. Polyeros is more appropriate.

Cunning observation… Like how pedophiles feel a brotherly bond with their victims.
Stop this war!
Support the “many love” between the romans and the greeks.
We should have lots more “many love”.
