Per capita stupidity

It took me two decades to figure out that "per capita" means "per person." It COMPLETELY goes against logic and plain common sense to say capita when you mean to say person. Do I say volgat when I want to say finger? Then why on frigging EARTH would you say capita when you want to say person?

The wasted fucking years. I could've been an economist by now.

I HATE these cunty habits. Seriously, you helpless toads, do you have ANY balls at all, to say things the straight way, instead of the thousand-year-old way?
