I was told recently about a school that was shamed into changing its school motto.
The motto was "l hear, I see, I learn" Nothing wrong with that per se. Unfortunately the motto was in Latin, and the Latin for "l hear, I see, I learn" is "audio, video, disco

Your yearly reminder that "l learn through suffering" can be translated into Latin as "Disco Inferno"
If anyone is curious, "disco" comes into English from the french loan word discothèque, originally from greek δισκος (diskos, as in discus throw, a disk) + θήκη (thiki, originally case or chest but here it means "house"). So a "house of discs" in the same way a "bibliothèque" is a house of books. The Latin meaning is a happy coincidence. That being said, I sincerely hope someone is working on a disco musical adaptation of Dantes Inferno.
