Is this a Latin website, or what?

I think I just saw 12 or 15 Latin questions on the first page. Doesn't anybody care about Greek or Swahili anymore?

It must be some kind of spam, surely.

@contrex,
We've probably just been discovered some high school, or something like that. Do you remember back when we had the Western Breakfast thing?

No. Please enlighten me! Were they questions about bacon, corn flakes etc?

@contrex,
Yes.

What is "Western Breakfast?" is still a good conversation starter among some of us.

In the UK in cafes you may have the choice of "English Breakfast" (sometimes "Full English Breakfast") or "Continental breakfast". English is a large meal, a grease-feast in fact, popular among truck drivers and fat people, bacon, sausages, fried eggs, black pudding (pig's blood sausage), hash browns, fried bread, baked beans, grilled or fried mushrooms, canned or fresh tomatoes (I mean most, or all of these things on one plate!). maybe buttered toast and jam or marmalade as well. Continental is one croissant, a tiny pat of butter, and a cup of coffee. Maybe cornflakes and milk and a piece of fruit. The English type is called "Welsh breakfast" or "Scottish breakfast" or "Ulster Fry" in the other parts of the kingdom.

It might be an effort to start a Latin translations website and lean on George (and of course not pay him). Gaaahhh (or, in Latin, Gaaahhhiiii).

@contrex,
Contrex - here's a list of threads tagged 'western breakfast'; this amazed most of us at the time.

Why, yes.
Yes, this is a Latin website.

Today's assignment is By Roman Hands: Inscriptions and Graffiti for
Students of Latin
by Matthew Hartnett.

Please concentrate on those inscriptions which refer specifically to
urination and defecation.

@George,
One of the "books" I was allowed to read as child, btw. (But it didn't make me a Katzenjammer Kid)
