I'm not doing 10 questions....don't have MUCH of a life...but I do have one. Anyway, if I remember this correctly "bon" and "bene" are similar in meaning..."bon" implies goodness, excellence particularly of the moral kind such as kindness and integrity...ie...bonus. "bene", depending on what word it's tacked onto can be an exclamation (good, excellent), or thoroughly, very, well, rightly, properly....I may be totally off base here because it's been years and years and years....

Well, I've been taking Latin for a year now, and can tell you confidently that "bene" is "well," and "bon" is translated "goodness" or "excellence."

bene : well (melior : better / optime : best ).
bon
from Fr., lit. "good" (adj.), from L. bonus "good." In phrases such as bon apétit (1860), lit. "good appetite;" bonjour (1577) "good day;" bon-ton (1744) "good style;" bon mot (1735), see mot; and bon voyage (1680) "pleasant journey."
