Mea Culpa, Mea Culpa, Mea Maxima Culpa. I am so sorry that my choice of the word "service" was inappropiate. I meant nothing by it and hope that you accept my apology. Thank you so much.

Dear Jerome, it's not a "service", it's just a help from language professionals. I mean it's not that you pay and await for a great service for your money. ;-) Just a friendly help here, nothng more.

the names to demand, to weight, to measure out

Exigere is a very multifaced verb. I think here it means "the names to demand" as a promotion of some brand or company name.

agree Vicky Papaprodromou : Hi Kirill. Ukraine, however, is still our big rival. :-) Thanks, anyway. I hope we both meet in the finals.

neutral Fortiter : "to demand the names" (Latin infinitive often is put at the end of the sentences but that place is not to follow in our languages because the meaning may change)
