Latin for Everyday Life
As a result English still has many thousands of Latin words in everyday use. Mark Walker is also the author of Annus Mirabilis: More Latin for Everyday Life and Britannica Latina: 2000 Years of British Latin, both published by The History Press.

Why do families, towns, countries and even football teams have Latin mottoes? What do the Latin epitaphs in churches say? What are the words of Mozart's Requiem? These are just a few of the topics covered in this book. As Mark Walker makes clear, present-day English is still steeped in its Roman and Latin origins. As a result English still has many thousands of Latin words in everyday use. Caveat emptor!
