It always distresses me that schools never teach word roots and things that we learned. It makes words so much plainer.
Uhm, the ancients didn't speak English, so that doesn't work.

Gotta agree. If I tried to use the same logic Esoteric Teacher does (in my native language, not in English), results would be meaningless. This also applies to practically all non-English languages.
