This thread was OT in the mil-hist forum anyway, so it has been relocated. Let's not talk of ignorance and snobbery -- the point seems moot since no one truly knows Latin anymore (it's a dead language whose corpus of texts is limited), and as for despising ignorance, I'd simply remind one that we're all ignorant in the beginning, and we remain ignorant of far more than we can ever claim to know.<br>

A certain degree of humility is desirable in posting, particularly in an online forum where one never knows who is reading. Individuals who can't tolerate others, for any reason, don't find much welcome in cordial discussion groups. Please keep collegiality in mind before clicking "add reply."<br>
