Cultural appropriation

[eirias]

Pursuant to a conversation elsewhere, a poll!

NOTE! For the purpose of this poll, "foreigner" refers to someone who is foreign in several ways:

1. he has no familial claim to the culture (no relation by blood or marriage);
2. he does not and has not lived in the culture;
3. he has no deep knowledge or understanding of the culture, and/or does not speak the language.

Use the comments to clarify anything you like.

(Note: I submitted blank answers but that's only so I can easily see poll results without changing them; one should not infer from that that I think all the options are inappropriate.)

Now that gives me a strong incentive to learn Latin. You should've told that to your charges...

Why do you assume I didn't?

"Hi, boys! In English I'm a proper young lady, but learn Latin with me and we can talk smut!"

If you can pull that off, more power to you, man. :)

Well, I didn't phrase it *that* way...

See, in ages where smut was harder to gain access to, I imagine this was an entirely common reason to learn Latin.
