yeah, you sound SO much smarter than everyone else if you throw a little latin at them. they don;t know what the hell you just said, but won;t want to admit it because they figure you must have gone to a better college.

meanwhile, i know " carpe diem" and that's about it. I did learn the latin "roots" of words in 7th grade, and it helps my vocabulary immensely. between context and word roots, i can usually figure out what a word i've not heard means without having to look it up.
