[Chat] Strong deeds, gentle words

[Emil Volcheck]

Hello, neighbors,

I never realized that Maryland's State Motto is in Italian
and can be translated as "strong deeds, gentle words" or
"manly deeds, womanly words."

Wikipedia has a nice entry that includes a discussion of
disagreements over sexist translations:

I was in for jury duty last week, and it occurred to me
that I could Google the Italian words inscribed in the
wall of the courtroom.
