The mighty neo liberal steam roller that crushed all before it from the 1980s to the beginning of the new millennium has morphed in recent years into a Charlie Carioli clown car that now can not go two yards without loud bangs, smoke pouring out of the engine and the doors dropping off.

"Last year, my MP's second home claim was £5,000 more than my total salary and now I find out that he's trying to charge me for cleaning his swimming pool!"

Poor Latin really.
Always a red flag for how expensive someone's education was.
Another one is people who use disinterested correctly, instead of thinking it means uninterested, they will have had an expensive proper education.

we agree about "disinterested", that bugs me too.
but english isn't latin and "fora" isn't the english plural of "forum" for the purposes of describing internet discussion groups.
my (grammar school) education was cheap -- well free actually -- but i did get o-levels in latin, greek and english.

I can see now that this new mediums for datums has created an agendums for a consistent Latin plural rules change.
