  • Respondeo. Carolus Ioseph McNamara Latine dixit aequitate atque decore sophiae totiusque Romae fabulam de continuativa forma cum classicarum litterarum multis generibus orbis terrarum pro Ciceronistarum collegio Bostoniae. Gustavi hanc fabulam propter eius personam confessam aestimarum positivarum bonis artibus. Plaudo canoque altas laudes eius! Bella verba erant, verumtamen philologiae sensum profundum solummudo datur omnibus qui possunt audire. Adeoque, Veritatis vis sit semper vobiscum!

  • Cicero would roll in his grave!

  • It's ridiculous how italian is so close to Latin. I understood most of what he said without a problem.

  • @marquezedmon I agree. I mean no offense but my classmates in high school are really bad at Latin and have better accents.

  • You know you are a complete nerd when you can understand this without subtitles...

    -_-

  • Bad accent man

  • Latin is a dead language. Nobody (I mean absolutely nobody) grows up being taught Latin as their first and primary language. There are influences of Latin in most western tongues but that's the most one can say.

    To criticize an native English speaker for not pronouncing Latin correctly is akin to living in a colorblind world and criticism someone for their use of purple in a painting. There is no foundation to attack from. We all remain ignorant on this issue of language; we are all guessing.

  • @ScapularSaves Well, the first thing you wrote was "I respond."

  • ahahahahah

    This is just a small example of what you English speakers really are...a bunch of barbarians.

  • hahahahaha eum non cognoscit latinum linguam.
