Ah, but there is much work being done right now about the
resurrection/reintroduction of Shakespeares's English and King James
English. Just because you don't find it useful doesn't mean there aren't
hundreds or even thousands who do.

Besides, what about what biologists do with Latin? I'm sure Caeser Augustus
would be quite confused to hear of an insect named Strigiphilus garylarsoni
(owl louse named for cartoonist Gary Larson).
