It's hard enough translating mbyron English into plain English, now I have to deal with mbyron Latin?
I took two years of Latin in HS and two years in college. My most vivid memory was from the textbook we used my first year in which words were "made up" to simulate Latin just to get us interested. One story was about a boy and a girl who went on a "picus-nicus" and drank "cocam-colam". No, I'm not kidding.
