I loved Latin. I should have majored in it when I could. I'd be telling high school students at this very moment that this translation of Ovid looks a lot like a "pony" I can find in any bookstore!

And of course, "nonne" is used when you ask a question already knowing the answer!

Why would you want to be in a roomful of people who hate you? And the secure knowledge that twenty years later many of them will realize that what they learned in Latin come in helpful in everyday life is not a valid answer.
