I've helped fellow travelers in fluent French, okay Spanish, and even my sketchy Russian, but I will never be as badass as this person.

@MaryAustinBooks my 2 years of high school Latin did not prepare me for that level. I’ve forgotten it all now anyway.

I never took Latin and am really wondering WTF is the Latin word for "airport."

@MaryAustinBooks aer porta, portus, portum? One of those. Airport is a Latin based word, I believe.

@Social_Recluse2 @MaryAustinBooks according to the Lexicon Recentis Latinitatis it's *aerinavium portus* https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/institutions_connected/latinitas/documents/rc_latinitas_20040601_lexicon_it.html#1

@oldclumsy_nowmad @MaryAustinBooks could be! I’m the opposite of fluent.
