May 19, 2020 at 13:07 comment added alephzero Bemoaning the poor attempt at Latin is beside the point of the book cover. In a country where a significant proportion of the population believe that the unalterable Authorized Word of God was written in English in 1611 (or alternatively, that the original text of the US Constitution has the same status as a Holy Book), who cares anything about ancient languages?

May 18, 2020 at 19:01 comment added Jasper May @Joonas Ilmavirta He wouldn't have had to pay anything at all to the people here at the Latin StackExchange, or any other on-line forum about Latin. It frankly shows his contempt for his audience.

May 18, 2020 at 18:52 comment added cnread Oh dear, someone used google translate instead of finding an actual translator. What a hack job (I refer to the translation; I'll leave my feelings about what the book itself will be like unmentioned).
May 18, 2020 at 18:51 comment added Joonas Ilmavirta It certainly has a hilarious aspect to it, but I find it more saddening. They wouldn't have had to pay much to a Latin teacher or student to get something sensible.
