Well, I borrowed this signature from the fortunes' collection:

<<<
$ fortune -m Quidquid
(platitudes)
%
Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.
        [Whatever is said in Latin sounds profound.]
%
>>>

So, it is possible it is wrong there as well.

Maybe it's time to change it into something written in a language I do
understand.
