Hello World!

Latin is finally being put back into practical use again! According to the Guardian, the Wallsend railway station in northern England will now be printing all signs in both English and Latin.

Rather alarmingly, they've decided to use the word "vomitorium" for way out, rather than the simpler (and rather less revolting) "exitus" (as pointed out in a reader's letter). Passengers alighting from trains may think they've stumbled into a Monty Python sketch when they read a sign directing them to the vomitorium.
