That's unfortunate because I'm pretty sure I and all of my Canadian friends/family use an article with a highway or freeway number.

I don't know if what you said is right, but I have been basically relaying what my Latin professors have taught me and what I, as an A-student in Latin, have learnt, yet I am being downvoted. A similar thing happened to me when I start

Just out of curiosity, you studied Latin in the US? And have you read Cicero? Since we are quoting Wikipedia: "The concepts and vocabulary from which vulgare latinum descend were known in the classical period and are to be found amply

I'm assuming a few people here have not studied Latin, which is fine of course, but their understanding is based on a simplification of a summary of nice and orderly definitions on what periods adhere to what types of Latin dialects. T

You're right. There are a lot of cognates. But in first year Latin we are taught and given exams on false cognates, so I guess I always treated each cognate carefully because our prof was always trying to trick us! In translation class

Trust me, I understand what you mean, but it is not the same. I don't mean to brag, but I speak fluent Spanish, and I studied Italian, French, and Latin for four years. I never studied Portuguese, but I can read probably 50% of it and

This is a weird thread. I hate to be so contrarian, and I'm beginning to question people's knowledge in this thread, but I was taught Middle English and they hammered home how it was very close to modern English. Yes, a lot of stu

> This is certainly not the case in the US. That sounds more like studying church Latin, which will be mocked if you're studying Latin outside an explicit religious context. Where are you? I studied Latin in Canada. Foundation Latin

Uh, no? The two broad categories are high Latin and low Latin. Put another way, classical Latin and vulgar Latin. Low Latin was the vernacular and already used by most by 270 AD, including poets, who greatly influenced the formation and uni

I majored in literature and minored in philosophy by taking an interdisciplinary programme. As you suggest, the ideal path is majoring in something that will get you a job that pays decent to handsomely; and minor in something that will fee

I'm ready to take all the downvotes. You have lived a very privileged life in Japan, my friend. I have travelled to Japan and have a fiancee who is Zainichi North Korean. I urge you to stop interpreting Japanese culture with such extre

I have a blog; a very unpopular blog that is probably read by two or three people. I write essays and "blog posts" on there. I also majored in literature and philosophy and had to write essays a lot. I got a lot of As. The first t

There are a lot of assumptions you are making. My significant other and I are a lot alike. We've happily accepted what it takes to live with another person, as two people who were used to doing stuff on their own and living alone. She
