Random fact of the day: The percentage of monkeys who are tee-total is
identical to the percentage of humans...

I think that sort of implicitly implies that you think you know why I
don't drink, quod non*.
*) That is a latin phrase that is sometimes used in the Netherlands.
Might be uncommon in other countries.

Everytime the IT department forbids something that a researcher deems

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?

I am not going head to head with a Nederlander. It seems to me that you
are all born speaking six languages. ;-)
I just meant that we use the French phrase instead of the Latin for that
thought.
