"
Vis sit tecum" is
latin for the familiar phrase "
may the Force be with you." After taking latin for two years, this is close to all I
remember. Many geeks will already possess this
knowledge, as
Star Wars is a major
geek pillar, and latin is perhaps the geek
language of choice.
You can
pronounce this one of two ways. The
correct way, as
taught to me by my magister (and
thus, perhaps subject to
debate...), is to pronounce the "v's" as "w's", the "a" should be long, and the "c" should be hard.
Wis sit tay-kum.
The most
popular method for
incorrecly pronouncing the phrase would be with a "vee-" sound at
the beginning of "vis". This is how most
people will pronounce "
veni, vidi, vici", which will make a
latin teacher reach for their
sidearm.
Not that all latin teachers carry
guns.
Maybe just mine.
