It shames me to admit that Caesar stands not to hand. The best I could
do--at this short notice--is the 14th edition of Bartlett's Familiar
Quotations, which quotes my buddy Julie as follows:

                 Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres.

...which means, I think, that we're ALL a little bit wrong--although some of
us are admittedly more wrong than others.

Actually, before I was so rudely corrected... er, interrupted, I was about
to observe that the other indispensible acronyms on my list are normally
contractions from foreign languages. ie. SPQR just about says it all.
Q. E. D.,

RSVP,

Paul
