My school only started teaching Latin my senior year, so only one year of Latin. This could go on the words that grit your teeth thread or here, but I hate when alumnus/alumni/alumna/alumnae gets used improperly.
I once saw a poster for UofKY's basketball team with Ashley Judd on it. She was identified as a "Kentucky alumnus."
Funny story from a guy I know that graduated from Princeton. At the graduation ceremony there was a speech in Latin. And all the graduating students had a cheat-sheet that told them when to laugh, applaud, etc. as if they were all fluent in Latin.
