Latin is a dead language 

As dead as dead can be 

It killed the Ancient Romans

…and now it’s killing ME! :funny:

This was scrawled inside my battered Latin textbook at school probably by some scruffy, disgruntled “Just William” type character :P but the joke was really on him because obviate, and more than 60% of the English lexicon (according to Stacker), derives from Latin (and Greek)
