definitely Quinara's fault
Jan. 19th, 2011 09:13 amThe problem with LJ entries done entirely in Latin is that I'll definitely pause to read them just for the novelty factor.
And I'm curious - so if I discover that someone's written a fanfic based on a textbook, I'll start researching the textbook to find out how on earth that was possible.
And then I'll end up buying expensive Latin textbooks to go with my other expensive Latin textbooks, which is really a waste of money. (Actually, buying any Latin textbooks could technically be considered a waste of money - dead language, and all that - but I'm going to do it anyway.)
As it happens, this particular Latin textbook is absolutely perfect for me.
