Was at a hockey game tonight and was thinking about the graffiti. I know there's been much conversation on this topic, and many elaborate theories. However, there are some things that I've been pondering that haven't settled in my mind yet so perhaps the folks here can provide some inputs (but not too many colorful scenarios, hopefully, just thoughts.) Perhaps this has been already be talked about as well in one of the many forums...
1. The phrase "Fecto C*nt Her Suma" on the pump-looking thing by the water tower and "Suma Fekto C*nt Her 2012" must have some type of connection. Either made by the same person or one tag inspired the other. However, why the differences in:
a. direction of letters (left to right versus up to down)
b. spelling of the word "Fecto"/"Fekto"
2. Is it confirmed that the words (at least "Fecto"/"Fekto" and "Suma") are Latin? I don't know Latin but using Google Translate, "Fecto" means "assuredly", "certainly", "surely", "surely it", "really" while "fekto" has no translation (maybe a misspelling if it was supposed to be Latin).
As a side, does anyone speak Spanish? For some reason, Google Translate says that "fecto" means "defect" in English, but that's only in Google Translate.
"Suma" appears to mean "sum" or "total" in both Latin and Spanish.
Does anyone know if this phrase (or some combination) would make any sense in Latin, Spanish, or some other language ("C*nt" and "Her" are probably English)?
That is, using my limited understanding via Google Translate, would this have something to do with "certainly, all her c*nt" (using Latin Google Translate) or "defect, all her c*nt" (using Spanish Google Translate, which I'm not sure about the translation).
As a reference to another site with a more colorful theory (
Cobain murdered by CIA - Page 272 - David Icke's Official Forums), they translate the phrase as "In effect, a complete c*nt"
3. HOW DOES TUMBLR WORK?? Did EL have to manually choose reposts? Or can she have her account auto repost on people she follows (ie: she doesn't select particular reposts.) The reason I ask is one posting on
Feb 1 (the day I'm suspecting she went missing and around the time the elevator video was taken, based on her activity on Jan 31st and no more activity after that). This is a repost on Tumblr on Feb 1:
"C*nt again? It was odd how men … used that word to demean women when it was the only part of a woman they valued."

Obviously the C*nt word is probably a commonly used word, but this Tumblr post came to mind when I was thinking of the graffiti (see point 2 above).
4. Anyone an expert in handwriting? Comparing the glass pic:
to the pump/water tank pic
I see some interesting differences and possibly similarities.
On the glass pic, I see that the "E" in "Her" is different from the "E" in "Fekto". Why the change in how "E" was written in the same graffiti tag? More than one tagger?
The word "Her" in the glass graffiti appears to be somewhat similar in writing style to phrase written on the pump. However, the rest of the glass graffiti phrase appears to be written differently from the pump phrase. Some possible differences include:
a. "U" is different. Glass has a little tail on the right while the pump doesn't.
b. "T" is different. Glass has that fancy top (like new times roman.. I wish I could describe fonts better) but pump has a straight top.
c. "M"
might be different. Glass has more rounded corners, possibly indicating a single motion to create the letter.
d. "O"
might be different. Glass has a thin top, possibly indicating that the letter finished at the 11:30 position. Pump has a bump at the 5 o'clock position possibly indicating a start/end at that point.
e. "a"
might be different. Although both tops look similar, the pump definitely stops after the first across and down stroke before going to the left then down. The glass "a" might be a flowing letter where the round part of the a going in a clockwise manner (while the glass "a" has the roundish part definitely going in a counter clockwise manner.)
f. "C" and "N" are too similar in both pics to tell.
I understand that maybe there could be differences in case (eg: "u" has a tail but "U" doesn't) but I'm not sure if this would explain all the differences.
4. What kind of person would write such a graffiti tag? If it were Latin/English, some book smart/hipster/intellectual with a penchant for minor public mayhem? Most of the graffiti I see are pictures (often times lewd), initials, tag handles, or simple profanity. Yes, reproductive organs in a vulgar sense are mentioned but not mixed with Latin (let me know if you think it's Spanish.)
ALSO, I find it interesting that the 0 is the slashed 0 is used. I don't see that commonly used by people. I like to use it myself (after a taking college math classes) to distinguish it from the letter "O". What kind of tagger would use a slashed zero? Someone who's familiar with math (or just likes the slash zero)?
Maybe making a mountain out of a molehill but, like I said, I was pondering this while watching hockey.
