It is also very useful for the SAT and ACT.

So is Italian, Spanish, Romanian, and French.

But not as useful as Latin.

This "useless language" is the reason my daughter was a National Merit Scholar and went to college on a full academic Scholorship. Sometimes when you don't understand something, it's better to remain silent rather than broadcast your stupidity.

If there's a school willing to give someone money because of proficiency in Latin, then that tells me the school values skills in a useless language, and that the degree your daughter will receive will be useless as well. How do you say "would you like fries with that" in Latin?

I think this needs to be said again:

This is how you say jealous in Latin: invidus, aemulus, zelotypus and malignus.

Oh, I understand it! I've studied some Latin (waste of time), but I speak Italian and Spanish fluently. I also got a generous scholarship from an Ivy.

Proves my point: invidioso (Italian)---practically the same as Latin, yet spoken by living, breathing human beings.

OP - is he HOT?

Loved taking Latin in high school. Got me a near perfect score on the verbal portion of the SATs. And it was really, really cool to read some of the original texts.

Sigh. Ok. Let me type s-l-o-w-l-y. The school didn't give her money because she was proficient in Latin. She did extremely well on the PSAT, SAT, and ACT. Surely you understand how Latin helped on those tests, right? Her high test scores led to multiple scholarship offers. That's what all these different posters are trying to get you to understand.
