I believe there are a few *Latinos here that need to be assimilated.

Well, I don't understand the bloody Latin. I wish you Latin people would put in white translations for us varlets.

Oh! The other shoe just dropped--I think. "Res ipse loquitur." ... "The thing speaks for itself." "The thing speaks for itself" IS the translation??

Yep.
but I messed up on my genders. It should be ipsa (as Keiva knows) not ipse.

Which was *my fault. I gave her res ipse loquitur from memory. Upon reading Keiva's version I googled about 60 hits for ipse and three thousand some odd for ipsa so I looked it up in an old Latin text book and discovered that it's ipse, ipsa, ipsum mfn and res is feminine.

No credit to me, A & F. In law, it's a reasonably common and familiar term.

So do you agree it speaks for itself re: football message boards, Keiva?
