Had to look it up. Gloria is not capitalized\
I figured why fix it, nobody is gonna notice. Little did I know. When I entered Hamilton JHS in 1956 they offered Latin classes. City schools tried in those days. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: "Sic transit gloria mundi" is a Latin phrase that translates to "thus passes the glory of the world" or "so passes worldly renown". It's a reminder that nothing earthly is permanent and that even great achievements and power will eventually fade away. The phrase was historically used in papal coronation ceremonies to emphasize the transient nature of earthly glory. Had to look it up. Gloria is not capitalized. Not exactly in the same "common knowledge" category as tempus fugit. |
