That's actually a matter of linguistics and culture. Have you learned enough in the years since you graduated High School to understand that?

Really? I have never used my Latin, but the Spanish I learned has been quite helpful.

Interesting ... I find my knowledge of Latin far more useful than any of the modern foreign languages I've studied ... It was, of course, a useful tool in learning some of them. It's also the basis of much of the English language.

I suspect you've used that Latin more than you realise.
