Pardon my smartassing, but shouldn't 'Veni Vedi Vici' be 'Veni Vidi Vici'?

Veni Vidi Vici translates in English as "I came, I saw, I conquered"
It is the message sent by Julius Caesar to the Roman Senate in 47BCE, tersely summarizing his easy military victory over a foe.

Yep, I got that. It's the 'vedi' bit I don't get. And that smilie in the end left me with the vague feeling of unwittingly embarrassing myself.

no Omikron really - the author of the song Mylène Farmer has a reputation for doing weird things and refusing to explain herself afterwards. This is one example. vedi is misspelled on purpose, even on the actual official lyrics.

Then again, I wonder how you know she did it on purpose once she refused to explain...
