You clearly haven't talked to Latin or Greek teachers if you think nobody bemoans our lack of fluency in those languages nowadays. It isn't that long ago that knowing Latin was almost a prerequisite for calling yourself educated. I do believe that we miss out on a lot of nuances by not being able to read Latin or Greek. But I also accept that, pragmatically, we can't all be learning these languages anymore, so yeah, I'm not one of those grumpy Latin teachers. That doesn't mean it's not still a loss.
