Dear Google: I heard that you are going to offer translation services for Latin, great news. I also heard there is going to be tools to help people with their pronunciation of Latin.
My suggestion: teach ecclesiastical Latin pronunciation as its the only Latin spoken now "in the wild" and sounds much better than the "reconstructed" "classical" Latin. I mean, who really wants to hear wini wene wiki?" or "Awe Maria?" No one, thats who! Who cares about stuffy classics professors at Ivy league schools, the freaking Pope uses ecclesiastical Latin. Also most people who still speak Latin (and compose in Latin) are using ecclesiastical pronunciation, lets be descriptive grammarians here. That is all. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "General" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
