LATINITAS...in the news, in the world

bona fide :: et cetera :: i.e. 'id est' :: per :: via :: vis-a-vis


These phrases are from the 'scandal' lately in the British press surrounding the 'ban' of Latin phrases in some local councils. See the following news reports and blogs:

BBCNews 3 November 2008 'Councils ban use of Latin terms'

Daily Telegraph blogs 3 November 2008 and forward 'Local council cretins ban Latin as 'elitist', pro bono publico'
