    If you check the earlier thread on this you will find that is not so.

    Enchanted April was the first to highlight the problem, right here in this thread on June 27. The other thread was created a whole day later on June 28. So, technically, this is the earlier thread. But I understand that you are saying that it was reported to Daz by forum mods. I still think it is a hilarious and apropos mistake on the part of a marketing department. It was a little smile for the weekend.

    Aye   I actually hadn't really noticed this thread, tbh   the title didn't make it so obvious.   The other thread does have some fun debate though.

    I didn't understand the title, but it made me curious enough to look.

    Yeah,   If it had been me wanting a witty title I think I would have headed the thread Caveat Emptor.

    That was the motto on my high school badge.

    aye, which was why I didn't equate it with the subject matter   (Evil be to him that evil thinks)

    Oooooh, I thought you were all saying that these things had "Caveat Emptor" as their motto.

    That's what I thought posters were saying, too. But both mottos seem equally strange as school mottos to me. 

  • ChoholeChohole Posts: 33,604

    Caveat Emptor is quite a good name for a school magazine produced by some of the school pupils.    It wasn't our school motto.   I can't actually remember waht that was.

    "Honi soit..." not just the Order of the Garter, but also on the front of every UK passport. It's frequently pronounced, "Honest Sweat Makes Smelly Pants" ...

    Derisively mispronouncing French is, after all, Britain's national pastime.

    Similarly for the French.  To me there is very little correspondence to the letters of the words with the sounds that come out of their mouths.devil

    French pronunciation is far more regular than English pronunciation.  Regional accents can make comprehension difficult, but that's the case with any language.
