Even though I should be hard at work on the two amicus briefs that my organization is currently working on, I’ve still found time recently to roam about the internet following bizarre Supreme Court memes. The most interesting of which would be the perennial debate over the correct pronunciation of the word “Certiorari.” In 2001, Washington Post writer Charles Lane published an interesting documentation of the different Justice’s take on the pronunciation of the word and what might really be the correct answer. I couldn’t find the complete article on the Wash. Post website, but I did find it here.

Hint: the ancient Romans would have pronounced it with a hard ‘c’, kair-tee-oh-rahr-eye.
