Teaching latin to redditors was one of the worst mistakes the west has done

Only superseded by telling them that they are clever for that (and all the genocide)

    My grandfather was fond of remarking with a limerick any time latin came up, because he was old as dirt and had to learn it in school:

    Latin is a dead language,

    As dead as dead can be,

    It killed the ancient Romans,

    And now it’s killing me.
