In Classics I worked on reconstructed Classical pronunciation of Latin. In my English minor I did the same for Early Modern English (e.g., Shakespeare).
That’s probably why today I received this. It seems to be a kind review of the ancient Roman version of Amazon’s Alexa*.

Won one FOR FREE!!! Don’t use it…it listens in at all times when plugged in, not just when ‘turned on’. I like my appliances more like a dumb toaster than a HAL 9000…unless HAL is singing the Daisey song, really really slowly!
You do realize it’s a joke and “Alexi” is his Latin speaking buddy offscreen, right?
Pingback: Alexius – The American Catholic
I don’t think it’s a buddy, I think it’s his own voice recorded on a different track. I know him through the Latin-speaking community. He has several YouTube channels; his spoken Latin one is called Scorpio Martianus. He has done a lot of research on the pronunciation of Latin and Greek at different periods.
Available soon, the Alexius Maximus:
“Alexius, what’s the weather tomorrow?”
“Carthago delenda est.”
“Alexius, where’s the nearest Home Depot?”
“Carthago delenda est.”
Pecunia olet, if you’re filthy rich.
