Wow -- to all of y'all who learned some Latin in high school.

I don't remember it even being offered, and I'm a little sorry to say I've never studied it.

It was only offered for one year, which I took in ninth grade. I wish there had been more.

I took a half year of Latin in High School and loved it. I found the structure and grammar fascinating.

My college B.A. degree is in Latin. I lacked three hours in Greek to be a Classics major.

I am listening to Debussy's Rodrigue et Chimčne and it is, indeed, lush. Thanks for the recommendation, bk.

Of course, the car is spazzing out and not beeping when I lock it, which means something is still running. I disconnected the one remaining working interior light. It finally beeped properly when I got back from the Pepcid run. I do have the charger in the car just in case.

Only a year  :o

My brother took Latin in high school and found it very helpful when he went to medical school.

With your reflex issues getting worse have you ever considered taking something before you eat?

TOD: Shorthand. The only thing I have ever excelled at. And I never used it in real life.

Used to be fluent in Spanish. Lived in Barcelona one summer.

My German improves when I drink.

My French is not great anymore.

Problem is I never use any of them.
