Not sure if this applies to the entire readership, but in my case, today’s Engrish came with an ad for some sort of electronic notebook with the tag line “Digital Notes – Paper Feel”, which seemed appropriate.

@Running Comment: I think the ads are individually tailored. Right now, they’re trying to sell me a GoPro and women’s clothing. Interesting combination!

I would imagine – using our local media as an example – that the Media in general, has less than a nodding acquaintance with the truth.

For they who wish to quibble with my quote in Latin. I can assure you it is iacta alea est. iacta is pronounced jac-ta. But the Romans did not have a J or a W in their alphabet.
Also, as Latin is a causitive language, word order is not as important as it is in English. ie The cast is die, while not being as stylish, would also be correct.

The die is cast. As Caesar said as he crossed the Rubicon river in Northern Italy. “Iacta alea esst.”

Spelling check . . . DIARRHOEA.
