Not strictly on topic, but Digitalis' new avatar, coupled with the Lexiconians’ mission to show us the error of our ways reminded me of this:

LEXICONIAN: What's this, then? Lexicones Eunt Domus'? 'People called Lexicons they go the house'?

DIGITALIS: It-- it says, 'Lexiconians, go home'.

LEXICONIAN: No, it doesn't. What's Latin for 'Lexiconian'? Come on!

DIGITALIS: Aah!

LEXICONIAN: Come on!

DIGITALIS: 'L….Lexiconus'?

LEXICONIAN: Goes like...?

DIGITALIS: 'Anus'?

LEXICONIAN: Vocative plural of 'anus' is...?

DIGITALIS: Eh. 'Ani'?

LEXICONIAN: 'Lexiconi'. 'Eunt'? What is 'eunt'?

DIGITALIS: 'Go'. Let--

LEXICONIAN: Conjugate the verb 'to go'.

DIGITALIS: Uh. 'Ire'. Uh, 'eo'. 'Is'. 'It'. 'Imus'. 'Itis'. 'Eunt'.

LEXICONIAN: So 'eunt' is...?

DIGITALIS: Ah, huh, third person plural, uh, present indicative. Uh, 'they go'.

LEXICONIAN: But 'Lexiconians, go home' is an order, so you must use the...?

DIGITALIS: The... imperative!

LEXICONIAN: Which is...?

DIGITALIS: Umm! Oh. Oh. Um, 'i'. 'I'!

LEXICONIAN: How many Lexiconians?

DIGITALIS: Ah! 'I'-- Plural. Plural. 'Ite'. 'Ite'.

LEXICONIAN: 'Ite'.

DIGITALIS: Ah. Eh.

LEXICONIAN: 'Domus'?

DIGITALIS: Eh.

LEXICONIAN: Nominative?

DIGITALIS: Oh.

LEXICONIAN: 'Go home'? This is motion towards. Isn't it, boy?

DIGITALIS: Ah. Ah, dative, sir! Ahh! No, not dative! Not the dative, sir! No! Ah! Oh, the... accusative! Accusative! Ah! 'Domum', sir! 'Ad domum'! Ah! Oooh! Ah!

LEXICONIAN: Except that 'domus' takes the...?

DIGITALIS: The locative, sir!

LEXICONIAN: Which is...?!

DIGITALIS: 'Domum'.

LEXICONIAN: 'Domum'.

DIGITALIS: Aaah! Ah.

LEXICONIAN: 'Um'. Understand?

DIGITALIS: Yes, sir.

LEXICONIAN: Now, write that out a hundred times.

DIGITALIS: Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Hail Insane Power, sir.

LEXICONIAN: Hail Insane Power. If it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off.

DIGITALIS: Oh, thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Hail Insane Power and everything, sir!
