... if you say that the US motto is E Unum Pluribus, they'll accept it, because it's the latin version, or so they think. good think they don't know latin--i didn't realize "In God we Trust" was the motto. oops.
Since when? Only since 1956.
From 1776 to 1956, the National Motto was "E Pluribus Unum" ("out of many, one"). Then Congress replaced it in 1956 with "In God We Trust", one year after mandating that phrase on our money and two years after splitting "one nation indivisible" with "under God" (how's that for apt symbolism?).
High time we call for the restoration of the National Motto and the Pledge.
