I bet these jingoists don't complain about their French benefits at work.

 

[Niles Standish]

I don't know why some languages get some benefits over others.

Why is it ok to have a Latin motto but bad to have a Spanish motto? Because one language is dead? It makes us sound classy? Seems dumb to me.

I'd be shocked if that wasn't intentional.

Much of the legal and civics vocabularies are Latin-based, if not Latin.

And no way that when in rome isn't a joke.

[pantagrapher]

I saved Latin.

 

[mr roboto]

Wow.

 

[Bonfire]

So...this happens in Vermont, and somehow you assign fault to Texas and the entirety of the south?

Hate to shake your world view, but there are a pretty even distribution of idiots.

 

[SacramentoBob]

And why do Greek people get their own fraternities in college?

And what's with those damn Roman Numerals? They had their empire, time to let go.

We use Latin because we want to be another Roman Empire.

 

[moleculo]

it's too bad they wiped the facebook commentators names out. These idiots should be outed in public.

 

[TheIronSheik]

Is there a difference between Latin and Mexican languages?

 

[moleculo]

sure. Latinos speak Mexican, but Mexicanos don't speak Latin.

Quite a few languages stem directly from Latin (French, Italian, Spanish, etc.) and a very large amount of English vocabulary comes from it. It seems strange to compare it's use to Spanish alone or any other modern language for that matter. The history and influence is completely different.

No one was talking about what Spain speaks. We're talking about what the Latinos speak.

Exactly. It is not the Spainards sneaking across our southern boarders, it's those darn Latin-speaking Latinos. .
