      If someone pronounced it as Day-os-ex I would also need at least a few seconds to get it because I personally use the latin pronunciation.

    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

      You triggered some really awful memories just now. I thought I had them buried, but you just exposed them to light and now I have to deal with them.

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

      It does if you assume anon doesn’t know latin pronunciation.

        (And the rest of the class have no idea about that “old” game)

        In that case it would more likely be “do (or deuce) sex,” but that’s not the vibe.

          They’re implied to have pronounced it “DAY-us EX”
