[ Waaaaaaaaaaaay Off Topic, and moved to -chat ]

On 06/28/01, 2:19:07 AM, Andrew Reid scripsisse videtur/creditur^W^W^W  
seems/is believed to have written:

<snipped>

"Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur"
          ^                           ^
          ^                           ^


I am not quite sure this sentence is fully correct.

"latine" should be written "Latine"; "viditur" should be "videtur" (video, es, 
[...], ere).

BTW, the Indicative ("dictum est") is normal here, and is generally more 
frequent -- cf "quisquis es", "quisquis ille est", etc.

Dicto citius.

Conformatio sententiarum permanet, quibuscumque verbis uti velis (Cic.). 

Nihil dico amplius :-)

P.S. courtesy translation services for free: 

"dicto citius" (=citius quam dici potest) ~ "in no time, with no delay"; 
"conformatio sententiarum [...]" ~ (freely translated) "the figures of thought 
remain, whatever the words you want to use"; "nihil dico amplius" ~ (roughly) 
"I'll say no more".

Remark
More important, some people might question the **content** of the sentence you 
built ("quidquid Latine dictum [...]"): they may prefer eg classical Greek, or 
Sanskrit... :-))
