A thought on your “We don’t speak like that anymore.”
In the medical profession the Latin is used for prescriptions because it is basically a dead language; therefore remains the same, meaning there is less likelihood for the misinterpretation of prescription by Pharmacists.
This part of their “world” has worked out rather well throughout “the world” in general.
But, they are a Profession, with very strict guidelines; laws and penalties against screw ups given that physical life is at stake.

There is no standard but what the various sides of what has ended up an endlessly muliti-sided fence end up agreeing on against some, if not all the other sides, more or less.
And yet, in this; it appears the translators of the KJV accomplished Tyndale’s stated hearts’ desire – the Bible in the hands of the common man.
And a thought in general - as with Grace, such a freedom will invite its fair share of problems; especially where the dogmatist is found asserting that he alone is right.
The dogmatist cannot but end up being more of the same: a liar. It is par for the course: as its very origin is found in its conclusion that it; and it alone, is right.
A mere “Hello,” sets such off and their kind. Out comes the red marker of their hypocrisy “So, tell us, what is the this, the that; we want to see if you have it right by our standard, so we can vomit it all over you if you do not; all the while pointing our finger at you!”
Matthew 23:
15. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
