Hm if you did like a POV tiktok (like: POV: cats really like you) in Latin, would it be governed by indirect speech or would POV be some kind of subordinated clause like “ut dicitur”

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Excellently-curated, entertaining, and legible stories with genuinely helpful notes that aid reading fluency, without succumbing to over-grammarliness. I wish I had the flexibility to read this with my 4’s!

I made another blog post for the Pliny haters. This one's about his omissions of esse, which are neither very unusual nor very challenging for students, but people need something to complain about I guess magisterconway.blogspot.com/2026/02/comi...

Today we were talking about historical Latin pronunciations as we sang Orientis Partibus for the Feast of the Ass. I used the English “vivat Regina” as an example. So at the end of class, a girl goes, “man I love Latin. What other class has you talking about Ass and Reginas?”

to state the obvious: everyone in the regime believes it is someone else's kids who are going to be stitching the shoes together in the factories. but i think the majority of their supporters also think the factories are for others' kids. there's only so many jobs where you go to yale law like JD
