"Well, James there are several things about this post that I find confusing.
First of all, you "claim" that you had a class in Latin in a Texas, nee Gulf
Coast high school.  The Reconstruction Constitution specifically forbade the
teaching of "foreign tongues" which, at that time included: Greek, Mexican,
French, Cajun, Nauhatl, Cree, and Latin."

But in forgetting to include Old Church Slavonic and Manx they they allowed
the loophole the consequences of which we now know all too well.

At Beaumont High we were still unaware of Noximos.  Of course Noxema was
well known.
