Well, methinks this WAS the joke, yes?
I did add a smiley ... It's kind of like extending the joke, but that nuance gets lost when one has to explain what one is doing.Sort of loses some of the humourous impact, doesn´t it, when someone has to explain it.
Latin words are alive and well.Latin is really a dead language and those who used it conversationally are no longer here to enlighten us.
But the original reply was "used conversationally', and that it is not. Therefore the language is not a living language, so it is dead.Latin words are alive and well.
You won't get far in medical school without using them.
Try hanging around surgeons at their workplace, you might be surprised how much Latin is still in use.But the original reply was "used conversationally', and that it is not. Therefore the language is not a living language, so it is dead.
Even though some of the words are still in use.

The Pope might disagree.... or a botanist and many others. However, it's regarded as a 'dead' language despite having usage and many words being the roots of other languages, esp. English and Spanish.
I recall reading a Wheels test (or was it MM) where they compared a 16TS with a (IIRC) 186S equipped HT Kingswood.Wow, a couple of surprises there for me with the 1975 car prices
A DS was more expensive than a V8 Rover!

A VW Passat was the same price as a Kingswood
A GS was cheaper than an R16 ( I loved my ‘75 R16 TS, but not as accomplished as a GS)
There has been a few anomalies with vehicle pricing over the years. I had a Peugeot Mi16, which was around $50k I believe in its day. Huge amount in early nineties!
My 2003 Peugeot Coupe came with original purchase papers for around $75k!

I wonder how much it will sell for.@Ron McGr might want a big brother to share the garage with his 1925 5CV?
The B14 is a bit closer to home than the 5CV was too Ron.
That a great unknown unfortunately. I guess it will end up being that old adage "it's worth what someone is willing to pay".I wonder how much it will sell for.
