"quod in ore mumpsimus", that does not seem to standardized classic latin, but some offspring of it, some kind of slang of later times?? "the monk replied that he had said it that way for forty years and "I will not change my old 'mumpsimus' for your new 'sumpsimus'"." I totally agree, just as my old, long time dead teacher in ancient and modern history, he used to say that when he quoted that same famous monk. Note, this teacher was of the same time and era as Ayn Rand, as well as the Heroic Stallion, Genius, High IQ, of Napoleon. Ilmarinen PS They might even have lived their genius childhood within the same block, at a minimum they must have had some connections.
