Words of Latin origin are identifiable at a glance, and homonymic collisions are thereby avoided

-- Caeser, seizer of the day


"Caesar" was pronounced in Latin with a hard C, which is preserved in German ("Kaiser").
And v is pronounced like w, but people look at you funny if you pronounce vice versa "wikay wersa".
I made someone with a veni vidi vici tattoo when I told him that.
