Not an attack... but the contributions of Latin to English are late and mostly indirect. To understand the poetic origins of modern English, you need to study Anglo-Saxon. IMVHO, it's mostly the Norman conquest and the consequent bastardization of English with Latinate forms that ruined the language. [Another reason to dislike the French. JOKE! JOKE!]


Anyway, back on topic... I don't do it all, either, and I have way less to do than most people. It's a struggle a lot of the time, but I do what I need to to get through the day.
