  • But she also pronounces the signs of the zodiac in correct Latin pronouncation.

    I think the problem with this is our pronunciation of Latin comes from Church Latin and they aren’t big on the zodiac.

    (Does she also say wenee, weedi, wichi)

  • Isn't all Latin pronunciation pretty much just made up these days?

    I think the power dynamic makes a difference in terms of pronunciation of non-english words. I think it matters less if you're referring to western Europe, but not making an effort in colonised places where the indigenous languages have been historically marginalised is pretty bad form.

  • Oh she will use both church Latin and (theoretically) "correct" Latin based on circumstances..she sings in a church choir.

    So definitely Veni Vidi Vici
