I talk to the trees Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I checked, and checked again. Nope! It's not an Onion piece. :svengo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuga Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Ugh. I do hate it when they only publicize the stupid ones. Surely some people were aware of Latin and corrected the less-capable individuals. I wish they would highlight the pithy responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Honestly, I'm glad to read those comments made by people outside the southern part of the country. According to some people, we are the only place which has people who think like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathnerd Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 How about "E pluribus unum"? The senator and the TV station should tell those people to check the currency they have in their wallets to see that they are carrying "Latin" words on their person already! That might prove very scary to Vermont's "anti-Latin" lobby ;) Just wait until these Facebook posters figure out that Indo-Arabic numerals are being taught in Vermont's public schools ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 They are all idiotas. (Did I decline that correctly?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 They are all idiotas. (Did I decline that correctly?) What declension is "idiot" anyway? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 In Jean's sentence it is a predicate nominative, so 1st declension nominative case, but since it's plural I think you want idiotae. Y'all feel free to correct my rusty Latin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 What declension is "idiot" anyway? ;) First. I wonder if you can add to the pejorative by saying "You are a first declension idiot!" ? I've been known to yell (in my car with the windows rolled up so that no one can hear me) "Idiota!" My kids say, "Mom, we know what you're saying. . . " :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'all feel free to correct my rusty Latin. You're right. It is a predicate nominative. I put it in the accusative. Ai yai yai! (To get all Latino here.)

Y'all feel free to correct my rusty Latin. Ok, so we would say ... "Tuus Nationes estis idiotae". Did I do that right? I'm only in First Form.
