I wish we used Latin phrases more. I use ad eternum with some frequency, idem too, but I wish there were more. Id est, et cetera... Abbreviations have cursed us! Latin is so cool... And then people don't even know what it is because we don't write it out. I've seen some atrocious spellings of "et cetera," let me tell you! Moreover, these phrases are often relegated to technical language. I hate it!
