Ok I'm biased but Latin and Greek are so much worse (yes I've been there).
Friend of mine went to a school which fashioned itself as "the old school" (as in historically old school). They learned latin and old greek instead of anything useful. He was furious when he came back from vacation in Greece and he only found one person, an old professor in Greek history, who he could talk to.
Yeah but Latin's pretty much a dead language, and the Greeks never spread their "disease" of a language on the scale that the French did
