for me obvius don´t sound weird, this world came from Latin language, evident, obvious, hahaha, but the conversation is so funny, can u imagine? I´m not sure but there is an urban legend told that when the independence of the Americans regarding the British, the Americans thought to use the Greek or another dead language as the language of the united states of america
