It's not about being anonymous, that's the standard.
It's about thinking that posting a single phrase that you could have simply googled is proof at all of your ability to read, write, or speak Latin.
But you already know that. You're just trying to avoid it.

Correct.
>Some. People. Still .know Latin you muppet
Yes of course. Also please be nice.
>I did my amo, amas, amat at school and you probably know some like E plurubus unum. Or deus ex machina. There are commonly known Latin phrases and I can almost be certain that everyone i went to school with know dei gratia sum quod sum as it was said every frigging day in assembly.
I don't know any Latin.
>I even know a bit of Welsh too and some mandarin... how is that even possible
Good question.
>Jesus, you do know that people out there in the world know different stuff from you?
Yes.
I just find it a funny coincidence that there are so many experts on the origins and historical definition of the word "decimate" mere days after a popular post about just that word. If you had that in your data banks before then, then I am happy for you. It is still weirdly elitist and not even really all that accurate to consider that historical definition of "decimate" as the correct usage in the modern day. It isn't used that way anymore. It has taken on a new meaning. To say someone is incorrect for using it another way is not really true.
>stupid people implying decimation means complete destruction of something
People are not stupid for using the more recent and culturally accurate definition of the word. Please be nicer.
