Latin question
-
Not computer related but this is the main place I know with picky educated people! (and some daft ones too...) My better half needs a latin version of: "I think therefore I am sleepless", and between us we have: "Cogito, ergo insomnis sum" But I'm not sure of tense, etc. Anyone fancy themselves a latin scholar? Iain.
I am one of "those foreigners coming over here and stealing our jobs". Yay me!

Nope, what you have there is correct IMHO. The word order of the last part doesn't matter in Latin, and the case/tense are correct if the speaker is a male entity. Sources: -Cassell's Latin/English Dictionary -Wheelock's Latin, 6th Edition Revised -Several years of personal Latin study

Don't be trying none of those preversions here: Google Tranalate - "But also mind, and have a sheep?"

Which is weird, because it was Google Translate I used to generate it in the first place!

IIRC you can drop the "sum" which would be assumed

Latin and, later, Greek. Also she's doing French, that'll be complimented by German next year and the option of a third modern language by GCSE. Oh, she also studies Hungarian.

What would you know about Latin? You're a furriner! You Italians and your modern new fangled languages... Iain. (ps, thanks, and long time no chat)
