    I just like that quotes sound more 'better' when using it.

    But I have to look it up.
    Oh no doubt about that; everything sounds better in Latin.

    Most Latin I see used is in phrases that are common enough that I just know the meaning of the entire phrase automatically, rather than actually translating the words, if that makes sense. This was actually the first time in recent memory where I saw a Latin quote and figured it out word by word.

    Making a suggestion for mods to follow on this type of situation. Mod should turn on their video software with sound so we can view the finished product of the event including the commentary during the action. Anybody want to second this so we can get it in front of the committee for a vote?

    I heard that joke once before years ago. At that point I was studying Latin pretty seriously, and had actually got to the point where I wouldn't translate word by word in my head, but rather could understand a lot of things instinctively by just grasping the meaning of the words themselves without first putting it in English. As a result, I had a rather difficult time trying to understand the joke.

    I stole it from someone on an old Usenet board in the 90s . :)

    Wasn’t time 7 posts, 54 minutes by the time he got ratted out n BT read the evidence it was over. Sy-o-Nara troll. Think it’s still up in the air if it was actually st. joe. Maybe not though I’m pretty slow.

    It's nothing fancy. Just a "Nope" and a few mouse clicks.
