This is a good article from the New Oxford Review which is well worth reading. For those who had the opportunity of studying Latin, most will understand. For those who were not afforded an opportunity to learn Latin, it's never too late to learn.
There is no denying that the classical languages, Latin and Greek, have sustained quite a battering in the past 50-odd years. Pointing fingers at the culprits, producing arguments in their favor, or demolishing those against them, has all been done. My intention is to understand the phenomenon of the (apparent) demise of the classical languages, and to highlight their return with a vengeance, now taking place before our very eyes, thanks mostly to the Internet.
