from Carpe Canum:
"I guess most readers of this blog will be aware that the great basilica of Miles Platting is no more. During my time at Manchester University, I had the privilege of seeing the great church of S Francis at Gorton, and now Corpus Christi Basilica in Miles Platting, before their demise. (I also witnessed the massacre of the beautiful high altar in Salford Cathedral - after Summorum Pontificum, I dare say they may be regretting that one!)"

Carpe canUm? Canum is the genitive plural of 'canis' (dog). Does he want the accusative ingular, 'canem'? If not, whatever can he mean?
Manifest ignorance of this kind gives the rest of us traditionalists a bad name.
