| | 15 | Writing Latin is easy, because, well, it uses the Latin alphabet. However, check to ensure: |
| | 16 | * dictionaries indicate vowel length, so do we; thus: ''hastātus'', not ''hastatus'' |
| | 17 | * write ae and oe, not æ and œ, nor e; thus ''Caesar'', not ''Cæsar'' or ''Cesar'' |
| | 18 | * differentiate between u and v |
| | 19 | * do not differentiate between i and j, both are written i |
| | 20 | * names are in the nominative; also, adjectives ought to have the same gender as their nouns |
| | 21 | * sometimes words are plural only, e.g. ''insidiae'' “ambush”; check the whole string has the proper number |
