Link: List of Latin phrases - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
his page lists direct English translations of common Latin phrases, such as veni vidi vici and et cetera. Some of the phrases are themselves translations of Greek phrases, as Greek rhetoric and literature reached its peak centuries before that of Ancient Rome.
Be aware that the Latin letter I can be used as either a vowel or a consonant. When used as a consonant, it is often replaced by the letter J by Medieval convention—hence phrases like de iure are often spelled de jure. For ease of reference, all Latin words that sometimes use J will be rendered with I on this list, as both spellings are often common, making finding phrases that could use either spelling difficult.
Might even be able to find "non seequater" spelled correctly. " Non Sequitur". Whatever, probably a good place to find out how everything old is new again...or something like that.
