Sobeh, I'm giving you 5 brownie points for that post.

I was just about to say that, then read your post.

It's true, you cannot speak Latin fluently. There are far, far too many conjugations for the average human to be able to think and speak at a normal pace.

It's more likely that even the Romans themselves wrote it correctly, but spoke it in such a way that it's more like slang than anything.
