Can someone who happens to speak a "dead" language help me in translating:

"With every breath I hope for freedom"

It's for the "greatness" factor for papers and such.

Omni suspiratione pro libertate spero.
Omni suspiritu pro libertate spero.

Either. Trust me, that's waterproof.

Dang. I have the Cambridge Latin Course units 1-4, but never got around to studying them. I was too busy accumulating real college credits when I bought them (my school didn't offer Latin) and the career thing takes a lot of time.

See if you can find a book called "Amo, Amas, Amat, and More" by Eugene H. Ehrlich. Interesting Latin phrase/quote collection.

damn you and your latin proficiency. by junior year, my already lax latin teacher decided to basically stop teaching except for a few times here and there. means I got 1 extra study hall each day and forgot all the latin I had learned. Senior year was even better. We FAKED doing Latin if there was an inspection of some sort. Good times.

Lies!

Being 'ein Berliner' is referring to one's doughnutabulous nature, not actually coming from Berlin.

Translate that, if you wish.

The Catholics I believe are the only group who uses it, their apparently still upset since that pesky German decided that the Bible should be in a language the common people could read too.

Well i wouldn't say people are kind. In fact many of them are horrible.
as for 10? nah there's billions of them.
As to the OP i'm not sure, but if you take answers from here it's likely you might get a joke response so it's not reliable. Keep fishing around on search engines and you might find it.

Docebam illam linguam nonnullis annis, probos quaerentes non cavillationibus lepidis tractaturus.

I used to teach this language for a few years and don't bother with stupid jokes if someone has a genuine question.

Habes! So there! :D

He did more than that, he also stuck annoying, passive-aggressive post-it notes to the doors of a cathedral, saying stuff like:
"Do you really have to traffic in pardons? The pope is totally going to thunder about this, if I have to tell him."
