I'm hoping someone else who has studied Latin can help me out here. I had 2 years of it in high school, many years ago, and I think I remember learning that the "v" in Latin words is pronounced as a "w" sound. We were taught that "Veni, vidi, vici" was spoken as "[wayne'-ee], [weedy], [weechy]". But the actor who plays Pilate in The Passion of the Christ pronounces the word "veritas" with the same "v" sound we use today. Is this a mispronunciation, or did my schooling fail me? Anyone familiar with Latin, please weigh in. I would appreciate it. --- Jonathan A.
