Latin is a really, really, really stupid language. Why am I taking it?

...because it has words like sandapila*, that's why. But it's still a stupid language.

If Latin is a stupid language (I think it's pretty, but that's because the most exposure I get to it is through Supernatural, where very pretty boys are reciting it to exorcism demons), then Chinese must just be a silly one. Or at least one that's difficult to translate into English, because my dad once translated one of Hamlet's many soliloquies as "I can't make up my mind! But wait--! Is that death I see before me--?", or something else that made me crack up. And then he called Hamlet psychic. And a princess. ... [/random story of the evening]

Heee. (Well, see, those pretty boys are not declining jussive clauses using indirect commands with ut and ne. That makes them infinitely preferable, naturally.) I certainly believe it. Also--XD Your dad is awesome.

(...I can see your point.) He's silly whenever he talks about literature. XD My little sister always has to correct him.
