Latin? It's not dead, just buried

So my mom passed her UofT PhD Latin exam on her first try. Most people take this exam numerous times before passing, it's known to be extremely difficult, and it is (bizarrely) an international certification standard.

And now she's off to Rome to compete in the Word Wrestling Federation's Circus Maximus Lexical Smacksimus... no wait, she isn't. But she will create lovely and well-joined Latin syntactical elements based on your specifications which, spray-painted on your roof in letters 10 feet high, will provide ample opportunity for coffee-table discussion with neighbours and friends, and will broadcast your obvious sagacity to passing birds, planes, and supermen.
