Most appropriately

Is that good?

It is, how are you?

No comprendo Latina. Es una lengua muerta.
I don't get why Latin is still taught in schools. Spanish, French, Arabic, Chinese, and German are much more effective, as one can actually communicate properly in those languages. You just can't go to ancient Rome and speak it, like with the others.

Studying Latin improves vocabulary.
It makes learning other Indo-European languages easier.
It is a language few understand which make it excellent for more private conversations.
One cannot truly appreciate the classic works of Tacitus, Vergil, and Horace except in their original language.
It has been shown to boost test scores more so than other languages which are still "alive".
It is a wonderful new medium for communication.
Often one learns more about how to speak English properly by studying Latin than they do by studying English.
It's fun.

If you're talking about anatomy or some shit.
Not always.
Doesn't count, I mean like legit go to the country where tey speak it and converse with the naitives.
I got a 1330 on SAT (sans writing) one who studies Latin (albeit Latin 2, I'm in Spanish 4) got a 1250.
I call BS. Grammar ly speaking, English is a Germanic language, borrowing words from many Latin and Germanic languages.
So are other languages. Especially listening in to the Hispanics and their chismo.

But they have great booze.

To help wash down the Nana.

What an interesting twist. Nana's typically the one who needs to wash things down.

I'm sorry, I really need to stop with the jokes. I am not good at them.

[Jerusalem and Damascus]

Alright, I think it's time for me to go to bed. Goodnight everybody.

[Socialist Ecuador]

Hello everyone! How is this night going?

[Coffee Cakes]

Well, to you it could be.

I'll accept that as a compliment, and leave it at that

Cool.

[Nude East Ireland]

How are you?

I'm mending, but alright. You?

I'm preparing. And thinking. And waiting. And watching.

And dancing.

[Galician-Volhynian Federation]

Good night...

Hello everyone! How is this night going?

...and welcome to the Funny Farm.

[Yoite]

Cool.

It's 11:40! Wow, I need some sleep....

None of what he said is BS. And you know it. There's nothing pointless in learning something, even if that something happens to be a dead language.

[United Dependencies]

If I hadn't taken Latin, I would be unable to tell you why this sentence starts "if I hadn't taken" rather than "if I didn't take".

Because taking a latin class is something that happened in the past. Not something you are doing currently.

[Periodspace]

Is that good?

It is, how are you?

Adequate.

It's times like this when I wish I knew another language.

Awesome.

[Auremena]

How are you?

I'm mending, but alright. You?

Your avi is downright beautiful.

[Individuality-ness]

Hey, now you have one. Well, I haven't heard, so you're good. For now. (I'm kidding.)

Nah, my singing is probably worse. I can sing, and I've done it, but I sing off key a good part of the time.

I do, yes.

We can have a sing badly-off.

Someday, not right now. Who would judge, though?

[Big Jim P]

Nana: is that a pic of you in your flag? Very beautiful.

[Individuality-ness]

Alright, I think it's time for me to go to bed. Goodnight everybody.

Good night!

Funny farms? Do we ride pigs and eat horses?

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Nana: is that a pic of you in your flag? Very beautiful.

Gods, no. I wish. That's Lang Lev, an artist I like very much.

I myself hold far more value in a language that is spoken by millions than a language that is no longer spoken.

[Nude East Ireland]

Yesh. Thank you.

Wow, I suddenly feel really lonely. I'm gonna go to bed. Cuddle something maybe. Bye everyone.

60% of English vocabulary is descended from Latin words.

Of that sentence, 3/8 words are descended from Latin words. Another 3 are cognate with Latin words.

Congrats on your SAT score. Anecdotal evidence doesn't discount studies.
Grammatically speaking, I've learned more about verb tenses and how to conjugate English verbs and the differences between similar words from Latin than I ever have from English class.

[Coffee Cakes]

Cool.

I have space open here.

In the other bedroom.

Good for you. He holds value in learning a language that was mother to all Romance languages. Nothing pointless in that.
