Trevor,

Again I posted after you, sorry. If your concern that Latin is just a dead language, then you're mistaken. It is very alive in our vocabulary, and I would argue that it brings other languages to life. Oh, the irony right? A dead language gives life to a living language. Not sure if it is true in all cases, but it sure was true in mine.

I'm not quite certain how to word this without sounding argumentative, but, did you really think that your post wouldn't provoke protest? Your comment that Latin takes priority over living languages seems to imply that you think that many here love it. I might be mistaken, but...
