i don't think the problem is with including latin as an example but rather that after 'veni vidi vici' it gives a literal translation as 'came saw conquered' and then an idiomatic translation that reads 'i came etc ' the problem is that 'came saw conquered' would not be considered a literal translation by any latin scholar or teacher i am a latin teacher and i would expect the pronoun expressed in an english rendering since it's clearly expressed in the latin the literal translation implies that latin doesn't mark person and number on verbs which is of course false now that i look at the other examples it looks like this problem pervades the article someone is trying to recreate the effect of such languages i call them pro drop in english the problem is that you can't create the effect in english which is one of the points of the article i e english is not a null subject language 'came saw conquered' does not create the effect that a latin speaker would feel upon hearing 'veni vidi vici' in fact 'i came i saw i conquered' is as close as one can get to create the effect of this phrase in english
