I can’t believe I actually got 9 of 12. Must be that Spanish. Or guessing.

11 out of 12… I knew that BA in classics was going to be good for something.

Whoops! I think you mean “etymologist” unless you are talking about insects…

10 out of 12…3 years of high school Latin, plus some brushing up recently in preparation for graduate studies–and I guessed on almost every one of them. Ironically, the only one I knew for certain was the source of the last phrase.

Oh, and if anyone’s interested, be sure to check out Vicipaedia – Wikipedia in Latin. Vere quisquam–et omnia–in interrete provenire potestis!

I got eight of 12, and I wasn’t familiar with any of them. And I never took a Latin class.

I guess that Latin class I took paid off, even though I slept through it. :) All correct!

Got 11 out of 12, but that’s prob cause I’m fluent in Portuguese, Spanish and French…I could easily guess the meaning even tho I don’t speak a work in Latin…

I’m only chiming in because there have only been two comments and I want this feature to continue – that despite getting an embarrassing 45%. Alas – Cura nihil aliud nisi ut valeas.
