    I never experienced this, and i tried a lot of times.

    P.S. Zett, shouldn't your sig be Ceterum censeo Romae esse delendam?

    No, it is an accusative object. Same KNG as delendam.
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    a-declension

    nominative: Roma
    genitive: Romae
    dative: Romae
    accusative: Romam
    ablative: Roma

    k-declension

    nom. : Carthago
    gen. : Carthaginis
    dat. : Carthagini
    acc. : Carthaginem
    abl. : Cathagine

    Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam.

    Roma and Cathago are both female, so in both sentences it is delendam.

    Ceterum censeo Romam esse delendam.

    The ablative tense? Is that the one that disappears first when the language starts to die out?

    Isn't it the Locative tense?

    Possibly the Locamotive tense?

    The Locativus still has distinct traces in modern languages. For instance: "Go home".
