His name wasn't Wolfgang Amadeus. He was baptized in Greek as Joannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart.

He later Germanized it to Wolfgang Gottlieb Mozart, with "Gottlieb" having the same meaning as "Theophilus" (lit. loved by God)

Whenever he wrote in Latin he would Latinize his name to Amadeus (same meaning)

reminder that you can just name yourself Wolfgang Amadeus

I am once again begging people to realize that AI checker doesn’t work. it’s never worked. it’s notoriously known to have flagged human-made works as AI and AI-generated works as human-made. and by feeding it people’s works, you are feeding more works to AI, because apparently the machine itself is AI.

the only thing AI checker does is harm genuine artists and people in general too.

And this ain't that abridged shit this is the three columns 8 point font, pages made of tissue paper bound into a book that is 4-5 inches thick shit. You follow?

And there are all these reports on how new slang is and how to understand it and getting it wrong. BUT 2001 GOT ME
