   That’s atrocious latin. Piraro must’ve used an online translator for that.

   Glad somebody pointed that out. I was just gonna say that “quod” in no way means “and,” but as it turns out almost none of that is correct, even the vocab.

   Who cares? It´s a joke!

   While we’re at it, there was no such thing as a university at the time of the Roman Empire.

   It’s horrible Latin though, which makes it not funny.

   “My little one because my travel money I petition Rome university”?

   I’d expect Piraro to be a bit more thorough than that.

   Online translators weren’t very good 2000 years ago.

   Te amo, Evil Pundit.

   I think a better translation would be:

   “Filius et pecunia mihi universitatem Romae adeunt.”

   Although it was normal for a person to seek opportunities in Rome, I believe the fashionable schools were still in Athens.
