    Some here 'way back when may remember Lee Gold correcting my memory of
    "O sibili si ergo".

    Just wanted to note that Google Translate now supports Latin, and is
    perfectly willing to try to extract meaning from this nonsense.

    There also seem to be a lot of variants floating around, due to the
    telephone effect... but I think Lee's is the closest to legitimate Latin
    I've seen.

    I did?

    I don't remember doing it.

    I did take three years of Classical Latom (not Church Latin)
    (9th grade - 11th grade) way back when, in the 1950s.

    I searched RMF back through early 2003. Nothing I have (and I don't
    have *everything* in that time span) has "sibili", and the only ones
    with "ergo" don't seem to have anything related. So "'way back" is
    definitely 'WAY back.
