That is all.
That is all.




Amen. I'm there with you right now.
Please don't. It's tempting, I'm almost there myself, but if you give up then the assholes win.
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.




Why yes! We may be a female underclass, but they still need our affection and approval whether they know it or not. Don't let the bastards grind you down, especially when their Latin sucks.
Yup, am right there with you today. i wanna put my head under the duvet and not come out.
I don't think the Latin was ever intended to be correct. It's nonsensical in a satirical sort of way. It's more bastardized English than anything remotely close to Latin, but as such it reads as more "genuine" to the Anglophone.
Margaret Atwood is far too clever to inadvertently misuse a phrase, don't you think? But she's blisteringly satirical. That would explain her choice, I suppose.
The man's Latin sucks, not Atwood's. And I didn't mean to start an Atwood threadjack.
The point was that no matter how low they think they want to put us down, they still need us and they need us to look up to them. At some point they are going to have to resume behaving in a way that earns our admiration. And giving up (tempting as it is, I feel the same way these days) rewards them for douchebaggery. We CANNOT let that happen.
^ I agree with your philosophy here. I was just pointing out that Atwood was using faux Latin as a way of satirizing those who might use it, thinking it was real.

Oh, and please don't give up. It's always darkest before the dawn....

Way to be cryptic.

^ It's referenced elsewhere. But I've encrypted it even more....
^^^ I think she meant CKXXX was being cryptic.

^ ND's comment was right below my post, and I myself was concerned, after re-reading it, about how much the post might reveal. So I revised it.
Everything was not about me. It was arguably all about her.
