The Henry McMaster Jr. Bubble Bursts

Not at all getting into this political debate, only making a linguistic correction: in Latin America, they do NOT speak Latin.
They speak Spanish, Portuguese, and the native pre-European expeditions languages of the various tribes in those countries.
Where Latin is spoken TODAY is in the Vatican’s highest inner circles among the Catholic Pope and the Catholic Cardinals and Bishops, if that.
Since Vatican-II, even Catholic masses are no longer required to be conducted ENTIRELY in Latin but may be conducted in local languages, though parts of the Catholic liturgy remain in Latin.
And just an anecdote which people of a certain age and political persuasion might remember: Former Vice-President Dan Quayle was pilloried for having said, or not said, when visiting Latin America that he was sorry he did not speak Latin.
Physicians, too, know a lot of Latin words and phrases because the names of most body parts and conditions come from Latin and from Greek.
Also, lawyers use some Latin words and phrases, relics of Roman Law and of Code Napoleon, though MOST South Carolina lawyers pronounce them atrociously.
For example, a typical South Carolina lawyer would pronounce the phrase for a document commanding you to bring something with you as if “sahpeeena dufus take home.” The correct spelling is “subpoena duces tecum” pronounced SUB-PE-NA DOO-CHESS TAY-COOM.
And while I am at it, pre-trial examination of jurors should not be pronounced “dyare” as if dire consequences follow; it should be pronounced “deer” because that is the French infinitive verb for “say.”
So, the French phrase for “seeing [them] say” should NEVER be pronounced VOYR DAYRE but VO-WAR DEER.
Just saying because, with pre-trial matters related to the Murdaugh retrial looming, I hope not to get jarred by atrocious pronunciations of Latin and French phrases.

Yeah, don’t try sarcasm on this site. I’ve tried it before. It only works if you follow the sarcasm with a paragraph explaining the sarcasm, which, of course, makes the effort worthless. This particular case is only made worse by the fact that they don’t even recognize our state motto.
