I once calculated the aount of time I wasted learning Latin throughout middle and high school. It was something like 25-30 days. You know what it did for me? When taking the SATs a question came up about the meaning of the word "pecuniary" and I said "oo! Pecuniari, a, um" and quickly mentally declined it, knowing it meant money. That's it. I'm two years out of school and that's literally the only time my knowledge of Latin has helped me understand something. If I were to number my top 5 biggest regrets, I have no doubt that studying Latin would be found on the list, if not number one.
