Latin!

In the wake of a conversatin with my Latin teacher the other day -- I went in to get my translations of the Practice & Review and Sententiae Antiquae sentences from Wheelock checked, since I'm going through and doing the chapters I missed -- I have a VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION for all you Latinists out there.

oh dear gods, what have you Americans done to Latin?
6 (27.3%)

An example, from my Latin textbook (note: Wheelock doesn't translate it as y'all, that's how I learned it): Potuistisne bonam vitam sine ulla libertate agere? (Were y'all able to have a good life without any freedom?)

ETA: If you answer in the comments, and you don't mind doing so, can you had where you originally learned it? I'm noticing a tendency from southerners to have learned "y'all" and Californians to have learned "you guys" and I'm really curious about those of y'all that aren't from the U.S., since I know I've got quite a few on my dwircle/flist.

I am coming to the opinion that two things are certain in my life: (1) as soon as I decide that a professor might be helpful to me in regards to my honors thesis or grad school applications, they go on sabbatical (we're up to four now. Guys, Classics isn't a large department and MEMS isn't a large program, how the fuck is this my life) and (2) my roommates will decide to return from their mysterious absences and/or start making large amounts of noise as soon as I am about to begin something that would preferably be done in quiet and/or go to bed.

Oh, well, I suppose I can add a (3): I will have to do the dishes, even if my roommates start using the dishwasher. (I SWEAR TO GOD. The dishwasher was going, and I was washing the enormous pile of silverware in the sink. Gee, newsflash, guys: silverware can go in the dishwasher.)

The sabbatical thing is the most baffling, though. I don't have that many professors. How do all of them decide to go on sabbatical at the same time?
