Technically Latin is not a foreign language -- what with e.pluribus unum, non sequitor, Carthageo Delenda jest etc.
A foreign language is one that is not used in the USA. Latin is arguably used as an official languae right down to legalese speak.

It doesn't matter. The issue is whether the post can be read by all Freepers.
And it would not have come to this had some posters not used Latin to curse other posters, personally.
So the guideline now is that, unless the term is widely understood (e.g. adios) - translate it to English.
