This is driving me crazy. Been a long time since the nuns tried to hammer all this stuff into my noggin. The translation has to do with being lost, i believe.

 

Any scholars out there?;_)

Had 2 years of Latin myself. Never really concentrated on it tho. Thought :'who is there to talk to?' They all dead. dirtus napus

Yep - "Not all those who wander are lost" in Latin.

 

I do NOT claim to be a Latin expert. I got the translation from someone in a Latin forum somewhere on the web.

 

I'm also not sure I like the connotation of "perditi" as well. That leans toward being a lost soul - going to "perdition" instead of heaven. I'd rather have the connotation of "not knowing where you are."

 

Anyway, I decided to stay with it just for the fun of it.

 

Please - don't over analyze this. It's just for fun!
