"Cicero was wrong:" ST

Good on ST.
"As usual, my error appears to lie in over estimating the intelligence of my audience." ST

"I have not confused stupidity and ignorance" ST

Again, thanks JS. But neither you nor I will persuade Walter Mitty he's wrong here.
"Latin is probably near the bottom of my list of languages to learn before I die." JS

Good plan JS! Plenty of time after you die for that! Besides, not much reason to study ancient Latin, because so few people ever go visit ancient Latania.  Diz

Personally, ancient Latin (runner-up Ancient Greek) is about my favorite non-English, non-computer language.
As you observe JS, English is rich language all its own. But so much of it is drawn from other languages; much of it, Ancient Latin; particularly in law (a subject near and dear).

Bottom line, if whatever ST has to post isn't sufficiently important to translate, then it's not sufficiently important to read.
