    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?

        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.

                          cogito ergo Nihil enim somni is the best I can come up with. I had to time-travel back to the year 3 and chat so some roman soldiers, who talked for ages about their fields and who they loved, for some reason.

                                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
