The entire British Empire ran for more than > a century on people who learned Latin because they (or their elders) I had been taught Latin. It was a very helpful experience. I am not able, however, to read Virgil in Latin; the same applies to mathematics in many cases. And no, I was not taught Greek; alghough learning new languages has always been a nice exercise for me. > And if you don't think learning to lay bricks changes the way you think, > try laying them.
