Latin (“tu quoque mi fili ?”). Tagged by 2003:DE:3728:BF41:81DA:4314:A6F6:E3A3 on 25 May, not listed: “especially because of interpunction (lack of comma, space before question mark)”. J3133 (talk) 00:09, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, we know that Julius Caesar was very punctual, even punctilious, about punctuation; there is no way he would have left a space before the question mark while gasping these words with his last breath. --Lambiam 11:46, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
This is a pointless RFV and I'm going to close it. The spacing of Latin punctuation marks can't be "verified" in any meaningful sense. This, that and the other (talk) 01:05, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
