Conjures up a picture of a windowless room with a cop leaning across the desk, shouting, "Ubi sunt sepulchra?!"

Could Duolingo stop using the yellow color for new words it makes them difficult to read. How about blue or green. I thought it read Libi instead of Ubi

That would be the wrong case for this context. Sepulchris is Dative or Ablative plural.

It is NOT like 'chew' in English. It's a hard c with more 'air' behind it. It's aspirated. I think it mostly shows up in Greek Loan words and proper names. Ch is covered at the end of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oWWOJW3948

No, Latin 'ch' [kʰ] is aspirated and more like the 'k' in English 'kit' (a puff of air comes out of the mouth), while Latin 'c' [k] is not aspirated and more like the 'k' in English 'skit' (no puff of air comes out of the mouth).
I have to wonder what Cosmic-Alchemist's source is, because my sources say something different.
