	"art for art's sake" should be acceptable for "ars gratia artis" not just "art for the sake of art" which is the answer shown.

	Thanks. I changed it.

	A "delictum" is a crime, not a delight. "Red-handed" or "caught red-handed" should work for "in flagrante delicto." "By day" should work for "per diem." For "e pluribus unum," you should take "one from many" and "from many one." "Ad nauseam" should also translate to "to sickness."

	well this isn't a great quiz. Apart from being far too pernickety as to the translation that you accept or not, you also translate some literally (quid pro quo, persona non grata), some according to the general sense of how they are used in English (ad hominem, per diem, ad hoc). And what's with the contractions? Why can't you put modus operandi instead of M.O. or nota bene instead of N.B.? While we're at it, why is N.B. in capitals but M.O. not? And it's a little weird to have common Latin phrases mixed with mottos for US states. Why didn't you just put those in a separate quiz?
