Ready for a Sharpened and Battery-Powered Ides of March?
- Thread starter Hurkyl
- Start date
In summary, the conversation discussed the phrase "Beware the ides of March." The phrase is often misquoted as "Et tu, Brutus?" Brute is the Latin vocative form of Brutus, used when directly addressing the individual in question. The nominative form, Brutus, would be used in a sentence such as "Brutus killed me", where Brutus is the grammatical subject of a verb. The phrase "Beware the ides of March" is used to remind the listener of the dangers that come with the month of March, specifically the ides of the month. The potential dangers that the listener should be wary of include being near seat of government buildings, and being around friends

Size doesn't matter; it's how it's sharpened that counts. :)
