If you're not sure what that means, any word that ends in "tion" is latinate. Any word beginning with "con", "pro", or any of those three letter prefixes, is likely to be latinate. The one exception to the overly correct usage is when they're behind the wheel, and they revert to the most beastly talk.
Sounds Vogon-esque to me. Do they write poetry?
