GODAMNIT! I HATE THE ****ing PUN BECAUSE CAESAR IS PRONOUNCED "KAISAR"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEN WILL THIS ENCYCLOPEDIA BECOME ACCURATE? --
Sir Xiao Li CUN VFH NS (Talk)[citation needed] 10:07, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
- It's actually pronounced /Ki:zə/. ~ 10:22, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
- What effect does that have on the IPA pronounciation? ~ 10:31, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
- Well, Caesar should be pronouced sees-her using modern Anglo-Latin pronunciation which has been used for centuries - /Ki:zə/ would be the classical roman pronunciation, which we haven't used officially for a long time. So seeing as we're speaking English, the standard pronunciation of c followed by an ae sounds like "see". Probably. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 10:41, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Fear the Ides of March! How can you not have "Et tu" in there someone? "Et tu, you freakin' bastard?" --75.34.132.99 23:57, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Are we aware that "et tu" is the wrong tradition, he's supposed to have actually said "ki su, teknon?" (Greek; "you too, my child?", a quote from Menander). Or is using the wrong tradition (thanks Shakespeare!) part of the joke?

Cleanup[edit]
This article was really good after I painstakingly replaced the Vs like in "Jvlivs Caesar" to Us as in "Julius Caesar" and corrected a few inaccuracies. Although this is uncyclopedia, we still need to make our articles (mostly) accurate and twist the history to comedic purposes.

- To the point, transforming the language as previous editors did means the article is written in code for the sake of repeating a single joke to death, which isn't even a joke in the first place but a superficial imitation. The reader sees it, maybe says, "Oh, yeah. Cute." and then decides against the chore of mentally converting the v's back to u's so he can read it and see whether there are any real jokes.

Spike, could "yov" please change this article's name so it doesn't have the greek letter that looks like ae in it? If we feature it I do not want the users to be like "Why the fuck is this featured article spelled correctly?" --CrappyUncyclopedian1111 (talk) 21:04, March 15, 2016 (UTC)
- It is a good thing when articles are named correctly. "æ" is not a "greek letter" but a letter of Latin used to write the "ae" diphthong. If someone types Julius Caesar, he gets taken to the same page. Spıke 🎙️21:28 15-Mar-16
Alright, I did not entirely know that one, but it sill looks weird and weird lettering will not look good on the main page.--CrappyUncyclopedian1111 (talk) 13:27, March 16, 2016 (UTC)
- Latin, like Spanish, pronounces every letter, and "æ" was the sound of "i" in "find," which if you think about it is two sounds. It is rare in English (rarer in American English than British, as more of them study Latin) but I believe the reader will know exactly what he is seeing. Spıke 🎙️

- Alright. If "yov" believe keeping the latin letter for "ae" in the article's name is the best decision for this article's comedic purpose, then I have no right to object you. After all, I am the Crappy Uncyclopedian. --CrappyUncyclopedian1111 (talk) 00:33, March 17, 2016 (UTC)
