WTF?

I was going to do a post inspired by a post I read over at the Harvard Business Review, but I came across something far funnier and appropriate on Twitter: Tales of a Wayward Classicist’s Latin Tattoos. What I know about Latin could fit on my big toe, but I still laughed out loud reading his post about people who scribe Latin bastardizations permanently on their skin.

And I took away a really simply but profound thought: know what you’re trying to say. Don’t rely on fancy phrases (did you like “scribe Latin bastardizations permanently on their skin”?), numbers, corporate speak, text-speak or anything else to get your message across. Plain and simple works wonders.
