Ok well I learned alliteration while learning Latin. This thread is more about having fun with language related to MP than it is about PhDs in English. Someone posted about my haiku thread not being in japanese On but instead english syllables. It's more about having fun within certain parameters than having a doctorate in language. 
That makes sense. I don't recall Latin having many, if any, ambiguities in written representation of a given phoneme, so in that language same letter = same sound. Still leaves the assonance/alliteration divide. Believe it or not, I share your history in learning the term through Latin studies while reading the Aeneid back in high school.
My post was an overreaction, I admit, albeit one I tried to keep tongue-in-cheek, hence the silly html tag. Which I mispelled/typoed, I now realize. Whoops.
And, no, I am not an English scholar, but I had enough grizzled academics pounding into my head the strictures of poetry throughout my high school years in several languages that I can be a bit of a stickler for these matters.
