I’m in my early 50s and I’m the only one of my peers who took Latin in HS. And I didn’t know they quit teaching trig - guess I was born too soon...

Good for you. I took first-year Latin and then switched to French. To this day, I wish I'd have taken all 4 years offered. I think Trig is still taught, but in New York at least, it's rolled in with Algebra II -- which makes some sense.

Latin is the language of science and medicine.

I didn’t take latin but picked up a considerable bit through my interest in science. Those latin root words come in real handy.
