Lawyers do.  They seem to have frightened us into believing that they
know magic spells and have arcane knowledge of how to translate simple
intent into high-falutin' latin.  Do it wrong, and evil spirits could
possibly
undo the spell!  Who knows what you might risk?

If Mr. Notation is that cowed, perhaps he should hire a lawyer to assure him
that the appropriate sacrifices have been made to the gods.  I'm sure that
we have nothing more to offer.
