2. Knowing Latin is worth

A perfect six-pack AND dreamy eyes i.m.h.o.

I can quote extensively from ecclesiastical Latin due to knowing the music to which it has been set - but it's hardly the sort of sweet nothings which one would whisper in a sweet-heart's ear...

3. Are you speaking classical Latin or church latin?

(how are you pronouncing your v's?)

4. I'm just starting to learn it

And to be honest I think pronouncing a "v" as "w" is weird. I'm an atheist so I'm not interested in "church latin".

6. then yer speaking church latin if your v's are v's

9. There's also a difference in for c

In Classical Latin c is always hard, but in Ecclesiastical is gets softened a lots - for example caeli (heaven) is pronounced chey li.

Basically Ecclesiastical Latin is pronounced as though it is Italian (which makes sense when you consider where Rome is).
