I was not replying to you. In the Mar 4th word of the day Anu stated:
Latin is a dead language. No people speak it as their everyday language. The area south of the US is called Latin America because most of the people down there speak Spanish or Portuguese, both derived from Latin.
I take exception to this, for in truth no one can dispute that Latin is an "evolved" language, directly the predecessor of Italian, and both mother and father to all Romance languages, and still the main expression of science and medicine in naming species and body parts etc. Also, I'm not sure, but I thought they still spoke latin in the Vatican. As for your original post I completely agree with you.
Best regards
