And of course the linked article has actually really nothing to do with Zombies or Samhain. Any good English language education was teaching the good stuff in that article about 60 years ago. But also teaching other nonsense!
The Victorians were obsessed with seeing imaginary connections to Latin, and sitting in on an American English class in 1990, it seems a USA obsession too. Why are/were USA juniors taught stuff about Latin roots (some of which isn't even true!)?
