I kinda thought of it as, "My native tongue is as ancient as the seas, as foundational as the mountains, as incomprehensible to you as the stars are to ants. Anyway, 2000 years ago I had to hire a guy to translate that into one of your languages just so you people could sign a fucking contract. It was a huge mess, guy took twice as long as he quoted me, legal department rejected it three times before it got approved, the whole thing went way over budget. Long story short, I'm not updating the paperwork. You can Google it if you want the fine print."
His legal templates are all in Latin, his production code is all in COBOL, etc.
...and using that for my next dnd campaign! Thanks!
LOL, I'm honored, thanks!
