Pace

From Dictionary.com:

Pace

–preposition

with all due respect to; with the permission of: I do not, pace my rival, hold with the ideas of the reactionists.

Completely sure I've never seen "pace" used like this; and completely sure that now I'll see it 5 times before the month is out.

Posting does help me remember things. But I've now had the experience of reading an old post and being surprised my name is on it because I don't remember writing it.
