It seems short and concise and better than text speak.

It's about time, n'est pas?

I'm all for learning new languages.

A lot (if not most) of English was founded on Latin and French so why not?

As a country we're very lazy with languages, becoming increasingly more so. It's part of why we don't get maximum benefit from free movement of people within the EU.

Then it would be tiene. So none of that sentence was really correct

Not exactly going mad but it's much easier than getting up, getting my Latin dictionary and remembering the declensions.

lol I typed the tiener conjunction wrong there, way too quick, meant tienes, but although the sentence is right there with blonde hair and blue eyes.

It's a pointless language that nobody ever used!

Language evolves, what you think is English 200 years ago you'd have been considered texters

Shakespeare would have considered you as heretics

And the welsh still do

Greek was the standard language of Romans.

In fact as bizarre as it sounds most Finnish people speak Swedish!

I learned Latin at school. I remember some really well as we had a highly strung mad teacher, which helped etch it into my head. It's useful.

More language training as standard in schools would be ideal. Latin would be a great option.
