Impress Your Friends and Family with Your Latin

Sorry for formatting, took it from my blog and too lazy to fix.


     Too tired and lazy to learn make-believe Latin?
     Want to impress your friends by quoting Logical Fallacies?
     The answer is: Fake it `till you got it! And forget the getting part...

     1. Just pick a word. Any word. Example: Dwarf.

     2. Then append: "atum" or "anum".

     Result!

     Dwarfanum, Dwrfatum.

     3. Put it in the right format.
     "Argumentum ad dwarfatum"
     or just "ad dwarfatum"

     4. If you want to be real tricky, change the "f" to a "v" to show 
that you're on top of your style and grammar.

     Caveat: it's a good idea to avoid flatulantum.

     5. Play with inflections as you like, no one really wanted to 
commit suicide for 2 months straight in a loop, 12 hours a day (a.k.a. 
learning Latin).

     6. Profit!

     :)

        Gadi.
