You do realize that all of this is because you had to read ONE WORD of a language in which I bet you could've figured out what it meant, just by using other derivitives (Salutations, Salute...). I could understand if my ENTIRE post was in Latin, with no translation, and no English word order...
Which proves my point in which you read it on your free will; I didn't force you to read it. You could've went back to the main page, once you saw it wasn't "English".
I never forced you to read this thread, did I? You chose to open this thread with your own free will. You knew it would contain a non-English word right in the title itself. It's like a television ad. They aren't forcing you to buy their product, for forcing with involve acting against one's...
I wasn't forcing the Latin language on you, however I am sorry if that is how the original post sounded. I was simply introducing myself in a "new" way, rather than the dull "Hi!". I didn't want it to sound likeo a "HAH! I know Latin and you don't!!!" attitude.
So says the person with the Egyptian user name...
...but oh well. I took Latin because I thought I would have liked to know another language, and the other choices were too dull and required one to actually speak the language. While the Latin class, all we did 4th year was translate rather...
My first kiss (note, not the slobery "french" style. [Useless fact: The French call that kiss "American Kissing" Weird, huh?]) came around the age of 5, with my first "girlfriend". We went together for 8 years; my longest relationship to date.
I don't remember the movie that well, but it was during the scene against Bahamut-Sin, where Rude, and Reno were talking to the other people, and Rude goes, "Wait, why are we apologizing?!!" (Note, this is in the Jap version, English subbed)
Bahamut-Sin takes my vote, for it takes everyone to throw Cloud up to kill him. I thought that was hilarious.
By the way, what is the move that kills Sephiroth in the final scene called? My friends are torn between Omnislash v5.0, or Cherry Blossom.
Mainly how it can be created, as it's just heated air, as it was man's first "invention", and such.
Then apparently you didn't read my post, if you thought that. Think of it like this. Why study Ancient Egyptian?
No, if you would read my post, you would know that my point was that understanding Latin gives you a better understanding of the English language.
Maybe "magical" was too descriptive for you. "Wonderful", or maybe "mysterious" are better terms for you to comprehend.
Then I don't want to see you type in the English language again, as 10% of all English words are direct Latin, with about 60% having some Latin in them.
Also, "...simply because even a rudimentary knowledge of Latin cuts down the labor and pains of learning almost any other subject by at least...
For one, as some of you know, I took Latin for four years in high school (and absolutely LOVED it), and I take a keen interest in fire.
Vulcan is the Roman God of Fire, so it fit.
I'm sorry, but I utterly hated this movie. What bothered me about this movie wasn't the horrible acting of it's lead. It was how the movie even contradicted itself. A good example of this is when Troy's basketball team makes a huge deal about him singing and they burst into song.
I would've...
I guess I'll add mine. Feel free to talk to me! I get lonely sometimes. Please tell me you are from here, however.

I hope all that you heard was good. If not, please don't judge me by my experiences there; I did not like that board for the past few months. Oh, don't worry I will speak English. ;)
Oh, Sephiroth, if you wanted to say "Alas!", then that was the right interjection. :D
Was I forcing you to learn the Latin language? No. It was just a greeting, not me typing my entire post into Latin. Heck, I even told you what Salvete meant.
To use your example, you still eat ham sandwiches, right? Well I still learn and use the Latin language.
