There might be something sadder than misspelling your screen name, but I can’t think of it right now. LOL!

[SAJ]

Eh? (confused, here). Who misspelt a screen name?

In veno, veritas

Ah. Well, to be fair, some considerable number of people (idiots, mostly, in my experience) attempt to use Latin in order to sound erudite, without having bothered to learn anything about the language.

Condition of contest, I'm afraid.

Technically, in any case, it would have to be ''in vino veritas'', no comma, because the comma was not introduced as a punctuation mark until more than 1000 years after Horace. However, we insert one these days for consonance with English grammatical considerations.

BTW, if you haven't read Lynne Truss' book, ''Eats, Shoots and Leaves'', you owe it to yourself to do so. It is simply hilarious if you happen to be a grammar fan.

I've seen it but haven't picked it up yet. My current pet peeve is "literally".

Every time an idiot misuses it on the TV, I want to throw something through the screen, literally!
