			::Let's not forget "Materiam superabat opus", the concision fairy phrase. It means that the workmanship (or the final work) exceeds the materials (the parts that make of the final work). I think it might be Ovid. The trouble with the machine translation is when they churn out word for word translations that make no sense strung together in a sentence. Fortunately there are a ton of [[w:List of Latin phrases\|lists of Latin phrases]] that will be grammatically correct and make sense. (For all those who actually read Latin...) --[[User:Steelviper\|Steelviper]] 21:23, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

			== Pretentious latin slogans ==

			Since we're on a roll and working on an about us page for our own self-edification, then I suggest we be pretentious and sprinkle some latin phrases here and there, for humor's sake.

			For chiefs: ''Collator primoris proceres secundus.'' (Contributors first, chiefs second.)
