I had a class on medical terminology when I worked at a hospital. No need to
learn Latin. While Latin might make some feel superior, learning Spanish or
Chinese would probably be far more useful. Most Americans are pathetic,
unilingual speakers, while most of the world is multilingual. Having

made perfect sense to me.
A prof at a medical college is supposed to have remarked that he can always
tell the students who've taken Latin or Greek; when he names a bone or organ,
often their eyes light up with comprehension. I'm not a medical student, but

There's an English version ("Oh come, all ye faithful"). But of course it
isn't an exact translation, and anyway sometimes I just ~like~ the Latin words.

Given how much scientific nomenclature derives from Greek and Latin, I don't
see either as obsolete, and Latin might help the learning of other Romance
languages.

Hi Joel,
To your point, I read an article on German grammar (same as Yiddish) to
figure out the difference between "mir" and "mich".
It turns out that one is dative and the other is accusative. Without

Were from about 30 years ago, before optimization improved.
I know that the "hot" instruction for MQ on z/OS that showed up in
