Chresti and I were sitting outside at a cafe when this filthy guy came up to us. He had an enormous glob of something awful on the front of his shirt. I gave him two dollars so he would leave - then the racist rant started. He smelled like he hadn't wiped his ass in a year.

The singular form of "voces" is "vox." The "Catholic school" pronunciation of "voces" would resemble "vo-chase." The alternate pronunciation would be closer to "wo-kase."

In Italian, couldn't voces8 also be pronounced "Voce sotto," meaning something like "Low voice?"
