  1. Europeans ARE among the hairiest of men as my hairy nipples can attest to.

  2. In songs where Latin is used, Anglophones butcher Latin pronunciation, and some even claim my Spanish pronunciation is just as bad, even though Spanish IS Latin with a lot of Arabic influence and softening of sounds, but still retaining the hard ones in the repertoire. One of my favourite songs has bad Latin pronunciation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VInr-cSNNU&ab_channel=Equilanora "City of the Dead" by Eurielle. Also this one of Romans chanting while marching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkeLkuFzPfM&ab_channel=TheHarshWinter "Legio Aeterna Victrix - Roman march. Lyrics." Here they say "Lejonum" instead of "leg ee o num" reflecting the not-so-epic Roman Catholic Latin so similar to Italian in phonology.

  3. I married an Asian and named our daughter a Latin word which is also a Spanish word. Her country can't pronounce the name right though. They change a good sound to an obnoxious one they prefer.
