People who should be banned
Anyone who insists on using latin. This doesn't make you look intelligent - if anything it makes you look like a pretentious retard. Stop it.

It might be okay if you actually knew latin, rather than copy+pasting from a website.

As one of the culprits in my sig, I will speak up: Its my sig file. If you care to know, look it up. If you do not care... then what do you care? I do speak latin (badly) so I have no problem with it.

A lot of people have had to take latin at some point in their lives. Its not exactly the hardest language to learn.

This thread at prima facie appears to be little more than the habitat for a wide number of ad hominems which seem to continue ad infinitum, and it certainly does not seem to be ex parte to one particular side. Nota bene, and let this be a de facto caveat to you all: if you wish for these forums reach floruit, you must reverse the current trend of ipse dixit arguing.
So lets do our best to turn this thread into a true magnum opus which is exceptionally mirabile visu - only then will you be worthy of cum laude.
Carpe diem!

"Foreign words and expressions such as cul de sac, ancien r&eacutgime, deus ex machina, mutatis mutandis, status quo, gleichschaltung, weltanschauung , are used to give an air of culture and elegance. Except for the useful abbreviations i.e., e.g. , and etc. , there is no real need for any of the hundreds of foreign phrases now current in the English language.
Bad writers, and especially scientific, political, and sociological writers, are nearly always haunted by the notion that Latin or Greek words are grander than Saxon ones, and unnecessary words like expedite, ameliorate, predict, extraneous, deracinated, clandestine, subaqueous , and hundreds of others constantly gain ground from their Anglo-Saxon numbers."
-George Orwell
