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Only superseded by telling them that they are clever for that (and all the genocide)

(I have been waiting literal years for the right time to do a 'post hog ergo propter hog' joke)

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.

Chuds have been ruining Latin for well over a hundred years. British linguists back in the day had to due some revisionist stuff since they wanted to claim that English had its roots in only 'noble' and fancy languages like Latin, instead of being a bastardized offshoot of German with some French and Latin smattering it.

Anyway, let's stop fawning over Latin. It's time to channel our inner caveman and start learning the Proto Indo-European they toss around in Far Cry: Primal.

The chuds promised we would be speaking arabic in five years

Inshallah

Everyone should learn Latin at school or you don't know nuthin.

But this is just stock phrases. This person probably can't decline the five declensions.

the latin isn't the problem, it's the people using it (as you can see from this thread, i'm well versed in latin)

Redditers should stay dead

The five declension? I'd prefer not to.

im surprised they didnt work a ‘causus belli’ in there. Reddit clowns are V V fond of that one.

Latin was the only 2nd language I learned before universityamerikkka

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago

I was lucky and had to study two colonizer languages before going to university so i was set with linguistic studies in university
