Ave, Caesar!

Qu'est-ce que c'est, "hominum/hominis" -- singulier et pluriel?

Ca ne vaut rien en francais. Singulier ou pluriel.
Sic erat etiam Latine.

Varium et semper mutabile femina. (Vergil)
Lequel veut dire; feminae sunt mutabiles.

Sic cantavit Verdi; la donna e mobile.

Ainsi que ca ne vaut rien en italien aussi.

To the greater glory of man; to the greater glory of men; to the greater 
glory of mankind.

But there is only one God.
