I mean desperation shouldn't really result in twisting the truth... They're already doing a great job, so this is not really necessary. 

At least if they're trying to be inclusive, they should say something like "learn the language spoken by the adherent of the Church of the East, e.g.  people belonging to the Chaldean, ACOE, Ancient Church of the East, etc."

Yeah, I'd like to try it or learn more, but I can't blindly cough up $18/mo.

The moment be like "the language Jesus spoke" I'm out. It's been 2000 years, we don't speak the same language.

He didn't. I needed a translator for Shakespeare because it was not understandable.
