>> 'Pour Encourager les Autres' is exceptionally pretentious
As I've said before working with graduates from Oxbridge and top end red brick institutions one learned and became familiar with literary and historical references whether Byng's fate, Scylla and Charybdis or legal Latin.
Pretty sure though that 'Pour Encourager les Autres' was one my Father (BSc Colour Chemistry University of Leeds) used. He was though latterly, as a partner in a business importing dyes and chemicals for textile industry, fluent in French.
Maybe he came across Voltaire in that context :-P
