User blog:Mscoree/Latin Titles

I've noticed that a lot of timelines and map games on this wiki employ Latin titles, however in almost all cases they employ incorrect or nonsensical grammar. I know in most cases it's far too late to fix, but for fun here is a short comparison to what the titles should be.


 * Magnam Europae (Translates: Great [as a female direct object] Europes/Europe's/for Europe) → Europa Magna (Translates: Great Europe)
 * Fidem Pacis (Translates: Faith [as a direct object] of [the] peace) → Fidei Pacis (Translates: Faith of [the] peace)
 * Rome Must Be Destroyed II, which used to be called Romae Delenda Est Ancips (Translates: Of/to/for the Rome must be destroyed, faces two directions/two or double meanings/heads) → Roma Delenda Est (which to be fair was already taken), (Translates: Rome must be destroyed)

And one of my favorites, Lordganon's profile:
 * Hoc homo anagnostes regula Lingua Latīna (Translates: This [Lordganon, a neuter object]/From this human [subject] slave trained to read aloud/reader ruler Latin Language [also subjects]

I assume that Lordganon is not a eunuch, a slave, a ruler, or a language, so let's straighten this out using some similar terms:


 * Hic lectorem assiduum Linguae Latinae est.

A few notes. Saying "homo" is unneeded since Hic denotes gender and can therefore translate as "This [male/man/person]". I assumed you meant regular when you used "regula", so I added the adjective "assiduus", which means constant or regular.

So the above sentence translates to: "This [man] is a regular reader of the Latin Language."

Io Saturnalia! Valete!
