Latinese

4.33


“We will go with the programme strictu sensu”

I am trying hard not to giggle.

I’m taking minutes for Ergo Plc’s AGM. It’s bad enough that the meeting started nearly two hours behind schedule, now the company secretary is making everyone a little confused with a Latin mismatch.

Finally, the meeting is over and he tells me, with a huge grin, that he’s taking a long distance law programme- I can almost see his hand patting his back.
