(asciilifeform) phf: verisimilitude: so my school was just a parody of what the real thing was supposed to be, but i will say that we could read latin well enough to spend time searching through ovid for smutt, or sign gaudeamus igitur from memory while also understanding what i'm singing (there's a handful of other hymns)
