    Only trouble is, in Latin the verb is placed at the end of the sentence. Google does not seem to be able to cope with this.

    Hope I'm not being too pedantic but it used to be whispered in the ear of those Roman generals being granted a triumph to the accompaniment of the burning of a wisp of straw. It is done nowadays to the popes.

    Cheers,
    Jim
