Recent Acquisition

June 1, 2013

Last weekend, I picked up a button/badge that says,

Lingua mortua sola lingua bona est

which is Latin for
“The only good language is a dead language.”

Tee-hee! I’m planning to wear it around bookstores, cafes, and the like, in hopes that it will function as a recognition signal for certain types of language geeks. 🙂

    Perhaps you could have the following notice printed, and then stick it on the back of your chariot (sorry, your motor vehicle):

    “Sic hoc adfixum in obice legere potes, et liberaliter educatus et nimis propinquus ades” (If you can read this bumper sticker, you are both very well educated and much too close)
