Latin memor

I don't often laugh at Chinese English as my Cantonese is non-existant, but the person who writes the notices for my building has a lovely way of writing things...my favourite notice which appears every so often is entitled

"Objective dropped from high floor"

The last time I had to deal with Latin objectives was when I was learning Latin, many years ago and I would have been very keen to drop if from a high floor.

As we often used to say (and I am sure all good school kids used to)...

Latin is a dead language, as dead as dead can be,
It killed off all the Romans and now it's killing me.
