A school rhyme from back in the day when Latin was taught in Catholic Schools.

Latin is a dead Language
As dead as dead could be
First it killed the Romans
And now it's killing me

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Latinum in Anglicus in
Lingua mortua est
Tam mortua quam mortua esse potest
Primum Romanos interfecit
Et nunc me interficit.

Postmodern writers are my enemies. I read them just to spy on them.

In Terminal America, anyone who gets paid to write, broadcast, film, or lecture is of the same ilk as those who get paid to have sex.

What about it?

I was leaning towards being neutral but languages fascinate me. Latin seems to have roots in some of our modern languages like Spanish, French, Italian, Portugeuse, and possibly English. It is probably good that someone living is knowledgeable of this dead language. I don't know how this topic will spark a discussion. Surely there aren't many people passionate one way or the other about Latin.
