Years ago I emailed my peeve, on what forum I cannot now recall, that
Acorn, then situated in a city well endowed with classical scholars,
should have been so crass and pretentious as to try their hand at Latinity
and fall flat on their face. You would have thought somebody might have
checked it out.

"I die" is "morior" - there is no Latin word "morio" as far as I know.
"die!" is "morere" if addressed to one person, and "morimini" if to
several - there is no Latin word "morite" as far as I know.
