I want to learn Latin so bad, but in India they don't teach it.
I've studied a smattering of Latin, and one of the first things I learned is 'c' is always pronouced like 'k', and 'ae' is pronounced like 'eye'. I've found telling people that in a superior voice really impresses them.

On topic...I don't have anything to beat you guys, but told a co-worker the other day he looked like a Hobbit having a bad hair day.

I lapse into Gollum-speak on a regular basis, even though I can't get the voice right to save my life.

When I label a container of leftover food, I have to restrain from writing "what's TATERS, precious?" for potatoes, 'leaveses' for salad, 'eggses', etc.
