I'm not -entirely- sure though.
EDIT: Change "fire" to "fieri." Mea culpa.

Audere est Facere is literally "To dare is to do". Audere is the present active infinitive of audeo, I dare, making it "to dare". Est is the third person singular present active indicative of sum, I am, making it "is". Facere is the present active infinitive of facio, I do, make it "to do".

So they were right all along? That's dull. Thanks for explaining it though. I found the original argument, if you're interested.

It seems to me that he's not so much making a point of grammar as a point of semantics or something. He's arguing that the sentiment of the motto could be better expressed with an English phrase that isn't a translation of the original.

I'm suspecting it's "Exitium Generis Humani."
But since I think there's a difference in the grammar and words when you add "for the." Thanks.
