(Caveat emptor means buyer beware, what does caveat lector mean?)


Hi Buck,

You got the Caveat part down, but I'm not sure if ***** is being coy,
or has taken the wrong translation. His intent may be (if read
literally) that "reader beware." However, this is not the same as the
meaning of lector, where the meaning would offer "beware reader." It
is a subtle distinction at best leading to the same caution, but
Lector is one who reads (imparts information) to others (instead of
being a silent reader, such as anyone "reading" this post).
