Kind of sad to me.  But an interesting article anyway.


Spanish sí, Latin non:  School language offerings changing with the times: (by Michael Riley of the Asbury Park Press)
"“Veni, vini, vici."  The Latin phrase from Julius Caesar, meaning “I came, I saw, I conquered,” was once familiar to most high school students in the days when Latin was a required subject in the early part of the 20th century."
