Illuminated letter I was in Chemistry lab once, waiting to interpret when I saw someone with a t-shirt that said, "Si hoc legere nimium eruditionis habes." I took two years of Latin in high school and I could tell it said something like, "If you can read this you have ... education." I asked the wearer what it said, which was, "If you can read this you have too much education." I was so relieved that I don't have to stop learning! Although I am apparently border line.
