Notifying the Pope that he's a Pope

[Freeky]

I just had a guy who studied Latin have a look because it was funny.  He is assuming this was plugged into Google Translate, which he says for latin isn't a good tool at all, and had a minor nerd rage over it.

Still a hilarious idea, but if you're going to do it, go full derp.

[Dubya]

Im glad you said something. I was just about to start the fair copy of it. I guess I'll run it over to the college tomorrow and see if there's anyone who knows Latin there.

Pidgin Latin that causes nerdrage is best Latin.

Pidgin Latin that causes nerdrage is best Latin.

Yes. 

[Don Coyote]

While I can see a certain impact from using proper classical or ecclesiastical Latin in the letter, it just seems more lulzy to use pigdin Latin.

Just imagine, if you will, the Pontif, or his secretary, scratching his head going WTF at the bad Latin, and once figuring out what the message is being even more perplexed.

YES! Especially if it is otherwise gorgeous and clearly otherwise well wrought.

Good points. Half-assed Latin it shall be.

So true.

should we all send various letters to the same address, to really drive home the point of multiple Popes?

[Dubya]

Id love to be a fly on the wall if he were to get various letters popeing him, excommunicating him, and so on all at the same time.

Schroedinger's Pope.

For what it's worth, I finally have a few days off, so mine should be headed out by the end of next week.

Hey, Dubya, could I convince you to upload, or send me, your 'fair version'?
Layout is NOT a part of my skillset, and postage within the EU is not too bad!

[Dubya]

I plan to upload it as soon as it's done. As I said, I had some time off recently, and I got most of it done. Then I got drafted to help build a pole barn. Then I broke a couple of toes because I was too stupid to wear my boots. Now it's work time again. And that's not even mentioning the ruptured drain that spewed indescribable filth all over my room and ruined my sketches for the marginalia.

But I'm nothing if not stubborn, so it will go out eventually. Postage from here is going to be doable, but I appreciate the offer.

If you absolutely can't wait, you could always turn your deficient layout skills into an asset and send him a letter in crayon.

If people want a digital version I can slap together an image or pdf
