In the graveyard where some of my people are buried the older markers had umlauts. The second generation had the oe or other diphthongs. The third generation went to a phonetic spelling of how their names were pronounced. In high school I was surprised when the gym teacher asked how I pronounced my name. Usually that was reserved for kids named Czechnokowski but he apparently had been burned before.

Yeah, we had some of each. The nauticals usually retained the au spelling. I never tried to chase the records back but I doubt the archery spelling was what it was in Germany.

That says more about your bubble than the state of the world, to be
honest. Yes, the fraction of "speaks functional English" goes up as
one goes lower in the adult age bracket - partially due to modern online
media, but there are still plenty of people who don't speak any useful
amount of English despite being multilingual (especially in naturally
multilingual corners of the globe, of which there are quite a few).

Maybe, but I wouldn't bet on it. I've seen enough Ehinese-only documentation
(and AFAICT, Mandarin at that) of IT related products ...

Well, English is an amazingly sloppy language, for starters. Which
admittedly makes it easier to learn initially and then one just has
to build up one's store of cultural background, slang and vernacular
because native speakers of English tend to be particularly bad about
using same (usually without even being aware of it).
> it is a de facto standard.
Don't tell that to most governments ...

Cultural chauvinism but I've seen posts in some of the subreddits that are not in English. They don't get many replies since few can translate the question. I sometimes wonder if the poster can follow any of the threads and is too shy to attempt English or if they hope for the best. I can understand the former. I can often puzzle out German or Spanish but I wouldn't want to construct a coherent paragraph in either. Semi-apropos I was reading an essay by Herbert Spencer last night. He questioned the British educational system that taught Greek and Latin because that's what 'educated' people learned even though they had limited utility in later life. Quite a few of his observations on 19th century British quirks are relevant today.

Latin is useful for several reasons; it helps make sense of english, for starters, and it certainly helps when subsequently learning latin-derived (Romance) languages.

Nothing can make sense of English :) I'm glad I'm a native speaker. Latin does help a bit with Spanish. French is sui generis. I doubt Latin is taught in high school anymore, even in parochial schools. We used to argue about pronunciation with the kids from Catholic High. Anyway, that was the program for college entrance students -- two years of Latin followed by two of a modern language, German for STEM types, French for liberal arts. The shop/business kids took Spanish. All in all fluency in Spanish would have been more useful in my life.

It is a necessity for the priesthood of course and Greek might be better studied. But it is available for grade 1 onward in some schools and for home study. PDFs of all sorts are available for home study and home schooling. Memoria Press <https://www.memoriapress.com › latin> Seek and you shall find via DuckDuckGo. bliss

Like German Spanish has a limited number of pronunciation rules so you can often suss out an unknown word. French seems to elide a lot of characters. With English words I'm not sure about I go with the German pronunciation. Works well unless there is an 'e' and 'i' involved.
