Latin's cool?

[Blizzard1]

Does having something in Latin in your title or signature make you feel like a big man/woman?

 

[Thirst_For_Knowledge]

Well yes, yes it does. Why do you ask?

 

[Katya]

It's definately cool. Which is why I don't know any latin.

 

[Tangnefedd]

I have never heard Latin described as cool before! I wasn't very good at it and soon gave it up. People using it as a signature are probably trying to show off, and are rather sad in my opinion!

No, my screen name is based on a Greek word, which is far cooler than Latin.

Latin is between l33tspeak and ASCII art on the scale of cool text.

Latin is cool , but Quenya is cooler.

Unfortunately, I don't know any of them.

 

[Guido]

Yeah I would have to say that Latin is cool.

I just wish I knew more then just Corpus Christi.

 

[sparklecat]

I'm with Eudaimonist, Greek is cooler.

 

[justanobserver]

Sorry, no it dont. Seeing Latin in signatures or titles doesn't impress me any more than seeing Vietnamese or Russian or any other language - past or present - in a title or signature.

 

[tocis]

Depends on what exactly one has as a sig. Just because it's Latin doesn't make it cool.

Latin is a sexy language.

I learned latin, but I don't remember too much of it. I do remember at least two :

(pseudo-latin) Semper ubi sub ubi - "Always wear underwear". This one's pseudo latin because ubi doesn't mean 'wear', but 'where' (as in a question), but its still amusing.

(actual latin) morituri te salutamus - "We who are about to die salute you". The gladiators would apparently say this to the emperor before fighting - presumably to the death .

It's not cool and it's not uncool. It really depends on what it says...of course, even if it is a catchy catchphrase, most people aren't likely to know it and won't bother to look it up. I know I've never bothered to look up quotes/titles/sigs in languages I didn't know....well, I have a few times...but otherwise I just don't bother.

I studied Latin for two years. Had an A all the way through and even recieved a certificate for getting the highest grade in the class. Now I hardly remember any of it.

Spewing a few random Latin phrases makes you a better Catholic and turns your prayer up +10 in volume so God hears you louder than everyone else. Didn't you get the memo?

 

[MJ421]

Of course. Even Je'sus did it.
