You seem to choose pet peeves that are opposite to mine! I don't like Greek word declinations in Latin (why write Leopolin if you can write Leopolim?) and I like the i/j, v/u distinction in Latin.

You should stay away from the house 1255 on rua de Constituição, then (it has this: https://imageup.ru/img91/3990079/porto.jpg https://imageup.ru/img91/3990079/porto.jpg — although it's the only text in Latin I've seen here so far)
- Grustaf 4y agoYes, I'm very partial to Greek, I studied it before Latin, and for much longer. My hellenophilia is especially strong now when I happen to be in Greece. Leopolim? As in the accusative form of Lvov? Feel free to send me more tips to the email in my profile!
