Except for Carpe Diem, My-father-plays-dominos-better-than-your-father-plays-dominos (said very quickly in a monotone), is all of the Latin that I thought I knew.
But it turns out there is another Latin phrase that I know: Vice versa, but now a common English phrase. Curiously while vice is a word in its own right, versa is not a word in English. It is, however, the name of a Digital Agency in Melbourne, specialising in Ai.
Kath Blackham, the founder of Versa, explains that the name is derived from the word conversation, literally the middle bit a discussion.
Kath had come to my attention after she featured in an ABC article about her decision to close her agency on a Wednesday to allow her team to explore their own interests.
I was curious. This was not a new concept and been famously adopted, and then discontinued by Google and others. I had had not expected any further insight into the idea but was more than pleasantly surprised. Kath had a totally different approach to what I was expecting. For her, it was all about an issue she is most passionate about, Mental Health in the workplace.
