Sceptical Observer
As I previously mentioned and Sear so rightly observed, our "fairly well evolved language" is only that way because it has borrowed so much from Latin and Greek (among others).
How times have changed. Not so very long ago it would be assumed that educated men would have a certain amount of Latin and Greek (and for anyone considering a scientific subject they are still always beneficial since so much technical terminology is rooted in them) as a given; nowadays it seems Latin is reserved for use as a military unit's motto and amusing mock-Latin proverbs that bounce round the internet.
