[@Dedonus] I'm sorry, that wasn't clear before. I thought it was an attack and allowed myself to get a touch snarky. I apologize.

(I actually didn't even understand the text as in, reading it and comprehending. People have quoted that passage at me so many times that I've memorized the translation that goes with that set of characters. I haven't suddenly learned Greek in like two months, though not for lack of wishing. Why must my school not offer Ancient Greek classes?!)

No problem.  I'm sorry that I pulled out by chance the one quote people preach at you with.  My bad! :hmm  I just wanted to say that people shouldn't feel bad that a 14/15 year old is going to be a freshman in college next year.  Sure, there will be people smarter than you are, but there surely will be an equal (if not a larger) number of people who are more dumb.  I mean, people these days.  Sometimes, I feel that if the human race was depending on its own intelligence for its survival, we all would we screwed! :hehe

[@mdk] *grumble* They offer Latin classes. I don't see why they wouldn't offer Greek.

From my experience as both a student and a teacher of ancient Greek, I would say that the attrition rate would be way too high for the high school level.  It is already pretty high at the college level. :hehe

Yes, that'll help the old job search. "Can you use C++?" "No, but I translated your fraternity letters from your coffee mug and it says Penis in Greek." "You're hired!"

"I can read the New Testament in its original text, and when I mean the original text, I mean the patchwork that scholars have pieced together because we don't have a complete version that is not relatively young." :hehe

But it is interesting how many people will [i]try[/i] (keyword) to take Greek so that they can read the Bible in the original language.  Too bad many of them don't make it.
