"Don't stand so close to me" - The Police Written on the blackboard behind Sting is the favourite joke of all Latin teachers, which should read: "Caesar adsum jam forte Brutus aderat Caesar sic in omnibus Brutus sic inat" The Police can't even get the punchline right. Should have asked the original writers, Status Quo. #TOTP #ThePolice #Latin

Bit of a random one but if anywhere can help, it's the Fedi: My friend is naming a photo that's going up in my bathroom. It's of a puffin that looks incredible and then you realise it's doing a massive shit. He wants to name it *Fratercula Arctica Cacare* But we've essentially just made up the Latin at the end. Can anyone help with the #Latin and make sure it makes sense? I wouldn't want any native speakers to come by and laugh at our amateur language skills.

Tuo "pöpinä" on varman eksoottisilla "heavy metal umalauteilla" varustettu sana popina, joka kylläkin on latinaa eikä kreikkaa, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/popina#Latin Varmaan nimen keksijä ei tullut ajatelleeksi että noin kirjoitettuna sana on suomea. Tai mistä minä tiedän, eihän ole ollenkaan mahdotonta että omistaja on kreikkalais-suomalainen pariskunta esimerkiksi, joka on jostain syystä asettautunut Colchesteriin asumaan..

Latin nerds, I need you! Offering Elvish nerdery in return 👇 Trying to translate "keep it secret – keep it safe" to #Latin, which I know is tricksy. Looking at verbs like servare and conservare, and adjectives for "safe" like tutus/salvus/securus...?? If you can help, I will write your phrase of choice in Tengwar (Elvish script)! Here's a sample of one way I write it – though I'll do straight lines 😅 I'll write them on a livestream and link image files for you. // #linguistics #LOTR #Tolkien
