"Actually Greek and Latin should probably be mandatory in that English is about 35+/- % Greek especially in the higher sciences and I'll bet a much-greater-than-that percentage of Latin."
Remember the line from My Big Fat Greek Wedding?
"show my any English word, I will give you the Greek root."
"OK Mr Portakallas, how about kimono"
"Kimono is similar to Greek word kimon, which means winter, so there you have it, you wrap yourself in a kimono for winter."
