Caecilius Pater Est

In my day we didn't have nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, ablative, vocative and locative as these were deemed too hard. Instead they were called "Form A", "Form B" etc.

Kind of ironic given that you could work out what nominative meant by knowing a little Latin - not an option if you call it "Form A". Also, the cases in German retained their proper names. And the difficult bit for the linguistically challenged isn't the names of the cases but the concept of cases. But I digress.
