Non sequiturs
Ad nauseam
I suffer through
In toto.
(I once wrote down
An author's name
As Auturo Ignoto.)
Per se, ad hoc,
The status quo...
You simply cannot
Beat 'em.
For saying much with
Pithy punch, e.g. ad
Infinitum.
But heu mihi
Ipso facto
Mirabile oh
Dictu...
Methinks the tongue unlatinized
And clear is what I'll
Stick to.
(Credit to Sister Rose Alice, S.S.J., Columbia University, 1969)
A phenomenally funny poem demonstrating the uselessness (or usefulness) of Latin in everyday English. Interestingly, "the tongue unlatinized" is impossible, givenn the vast array of Latin words still in vogue today... Auditor, bonus, dictator, sponsor, victor, et cetra....
