@cerberus Regarding our conversation in the English Language & Usage chatroom I know next to nothing about the Latin Language. What little I do know mostly pertains to the set phrases in English and English grammatical advice, so I doubt I can do the requisite research effort into the question to ask on the main latin.se website. However, I thought I should ask just what that ambiguity you mentioned is here, in order to see how you folk discuss it. So, what is it?

Your source's translation.

Another source:

> if it be the will of custom, in the power of whose judgment is the law and the standard of language

itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/001793.html

So one translation says the rule, the law, and the government of tongues belong to usage.

The other says the law and the standard of language are in the power of the judgement of usage.

You could ask which translation is more accurate based on the Latin.

Or which one carries the intended meaning better.

You don't need to know Latin in order to ask questions here!

I see. Thank you for clarifying that.

And you don't strictly need to research anything, as long as your question is clear and moderately interesting or relevant to the Latin language, to its culture, or to Classical Antiquity.

And, this being a small website, people are always eager for a new question!
