Those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it. --- George Santayana (December 16, 1863 – September 26, 1952) Those who fail to clear history are doomed to explain it. --- OriginalGriff (February 24, 1959 – ∞)
Don't be trying none of those preversions here: Google Tranalate - "But also mind, and have a sheep?"

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!

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

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.

She's blonde, blue eyed and fair of skin. They all will!

I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

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)

Back in High School I could have solved that for you, but I can't improve on what you two have come up with. Perhaps 'sans somnis' might work in place of 'insomnis' but it's been 40+ years since I've had a Roman to talk to. Aquilae non faecat in effigiebus! ;P
