I couldn't find much with google, might be because Dutch pages are shown 
first. Google does try to decide what I should look at.
I don't know if I told the story before, but we were once reminded that 
not all latin phrases are used equally around the world when we got this 
back from a reviewer from one of our papers:

Review number 2: 1) Latin, i.e. 'Mutatis mutandis' may not be
understood by all. A goal of all published works should be clarity.


Do I need to point out the irony?
