      I use penultimate all the time and most people have no idea what I mean! We need to bring back the Latin based words

          Yep. That’s actually how we say last and whatnot in Spanish: último is last and penúltimo is 2nd to last

      Ah so that’s why in the Tropico games your assistant was Penultimo! He’s the second to the ultimate leader, El Presidente!
