Let us be honest the motto of Everton could not be more at odds with Everton itself, it’s almost a parody that we have it emblazoned everywhere.

If we’re taking down Megafon and USM from our premises and clothing perhaps it’s time to retire the relic of a dead language and dead values to Everton, and start being more realistic.

While we're asking the factories and warehouses that make our merchandise to start scratching the bad brands off our clothes, maybe we could ask them to do a wee audit on the average age, wage and working conditions of the people doing said scratching?

Latin only became the common language of scholars in the first century BC.

It remained thus for 1800 years. Sad that it is rarely taught these days as it is the origin of much of modern languages.

Similarly, Greek is about to disappear from Irish schools. I think only one school is teaching it this year and will then desist.

As a boring old idiot, I am currently studying ancient Greek as part of a Master's. :)
