Sorry, I have been rather inactive lately, only skimming through posts. Kilk, please stop tormenting Firetooth. Firetooth, please stop responding. I think you'll find that Kilk gets bored and stops if you stop being defensive.

Hmmmn... I'm with Firetooth on this one. It seems like he's been rather civil, whereas Kilk has been poking him in the side with red hot pokers. Perhaps the community should deliver posting justice on the next instance of said posts.
Why can't I stay away from this game?

QuoteIf he's basically calling me a crybaby/jerk/noob it's not hard. Kilk's not particularly complex, he's self-centered and looks down on people he doesn't like.

He's pretty good with words and parsing logic though. Lack of complexity doesn't necessarily mean anything. Some of the best and most profound arguments or statements are quite simple to say or write.

Lol, now you see why I did not do Latin.  :D Ergo cognito sum sounds far better, though.

Thought order didn't really matter in Latin?

Um, no it doesn't. It sounds idiotic, first because its spelled cogito, not cognito, and second because Ergo means "therefore" roughly. It's an "if, then" statement, so "ergo" needs to be in the middle.

Latin is pretty flexible, but this is a special case, both because it's a quote, and because it's and "if, then" statement.

Sorry Volk, as you said I know the gist of it and that's it. I can speak german to an extent, but latin isn't my thing, forgive me. :(

I have seen the quote used as "ergo cogito sum, though."

Well people are idiots, generally speaking, so this does not surprise me. LOL.

QuoteI can speak german to an extent, but latin isn't my thing, forgive me.

Eh, I can count in German, and at one point could carry on a very simple conversation in it, but I've forgotten most of the one semester of German that I took.
