Latin is always touted as "helping you understand medical terms" but literally it's like you learn the word "foot" and then it's just a bunch of poo poo about how Aurelius beat the slaves in the vestibulum and all the 5 million different gods they had. I wish i took Spanish so i could talk about the medical things TO ACTUAL PEOPLE but no everybody tells you to take latin it's for the smart kids. On the plus side learning Latin helps you learn other romance languages, it's just you could just learn the actual live language in the first place instead of a dead one.

I know what you mean. We were given multiple choices of language classes to take in high school. Spanish, French, German, Italian and Irish Gaelic. Gaelic was mandatory for the first few years because of 'culture/heritage' or some other bullshit. The only time I've found Gaelic useful is when I'm in the Republic and some smartass thinks he's going to make an rear end out of me by asking simple questions in Gealic. It's like they have no idea that we are mixed society up here.

Polish would have been much more useful. A lot of Polish moved here after I left school and I served them drinks for years.

"They can be black, white, yellow, or purple for all I care!"

My mom will get really mad when people say that. "There are no purple people!"

Your mom sure about that?
