@MaryAustinBooks my 2 years of high school Latin did not prepare me for that level. I’ve forgotten it all now anyway.

So cool! I had 4 years of high school Latin, 35+ years as a med unit sec. (you remember when docs orders had Latin instructions for dosage et al).
Universal language.

@MaryAustinBooks The only Latin phrase I know and employ often is "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur" which means "Everything sounds more profound in Latin."

It's not a dead language. It's only mostly dead, and as we learned in the Princess Bride, mostly dead is still barely alive. -

@MaryAustinBooks I've used German to help a traveller in Thailand and somewhat faulty Spanish to explain what was wrong with my leg to someone in Korea. However, nothing as impressive as Latin.
