    Anon was clearly not in choir. Any singer would know it’s “deh oos”, not “day us”.

      Still sounds like “day o’ sex”, but from Northern England or something

        If a British professor doesn’t know his basic Latin, that’s even was.

        Deus Ex Machina is like one of the most commonly known Latin phrases, along with Veiny Viny Vici

        I believe it should be "In excelsis deo, but “dominus deus”. Something about Latin endings stuck in my mind from those days too.
