Yes, wasn't that a funny coincidence, that bit about Helen Calkins, where someone was saying that she might have proven herself to be a Latin shark, if only he had perhaps applied herself more to the Latin. Yes, well, life is short and few are those who have much time for studying Latin. There could be some advantages to learning Latin, you could perhaps intercept some internal things that no one else can read, but anyway, whatever, who needs the extra headache?
