The first casualty of war is Latin

[quislibet]

Note to just about everyone who uses the phrase (rather often nowadays): "Causus belli" is spelled "casus belli."

While it seems to me that "causa" would be better, nonetheless there is no Latin word "causus."

This pedantic note is now cut short by imminent cassoulet.
