Latin With Lyr--All are welcome!

[emotional leper]

That's what it was like when I was learning it, except it was a woman and she wasn't allowed to physically hurt us.

Just emotionally.

[Wyldewode]

So glad to have brought back a positive memory for you.

[Ur Dead]

I do not want to learn any new or old languages. I need to master the one I have.


Plus in about 10 years the US will be second on those countries who are able to speak English.

China will be first.

It's not so much positive, as it is distinctly non-negative.

No, the reason English will be a second language in this country is because if you move to France, you learn to speak French, if you move to Italy, you learn to speak Italian, and for a long time, if you moved to America, you learned to speak American English, but now apparently some pansy as leftists feel that that's destroying the culture of those who emmigrate (which, you know, sticking stuff in a melting pot kind of does destroy it), so now we have to accommodate everyone. I wonder what Churchill would think. That man knew alot about accommodation.

[balon!]

I sang a song in choir that was latin, but I can only remember a few words.

gloria in ex chelsi dio (spelling?) et intera pax o minibus bonevolunta dis. Lau da mus te, bene dici mus te

Thats it.

Horrible spelling probably, as it's coming from a phonetic memory.

Gloria in excélsis Deo
Et in terra pax homínibus bonae voluntátis.

I googled it, and accidently got a translation, so I'm not going to bother.

Glory to God in the highest.
And on earth peace to men of good will.

[Wyldewode]

It's part of Adeste Fideles, I believe.

[stonemaybe]

Anyone have a go at this one?

honi soit qui mal y pense

I suspect it might not be clean, as it's a tattoo on a sailor's leg (in a book I'm reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

hmm, or maybe not even Latin?

According to Wikipedia, it's Old French.

Thanks Menolly!
that would make sense, as it was tattooed beside a garter!

[Menolly]

Did you read the link on the Order of the Garter? Fascinating stuff.

[Wyldewode]

Chiming in late, but that particular phrase is indeed the motto of the Order of the Garter, and was featured prominently in a story involving Sir Francis Drake and the Queen Elizabeth of England.

Carry on.
