Servo, Ergo Sum.

I just realized I've been completely ignoring this thing. So now I'm returning. On a whim, I decided to try to figure out what the server message 'Servo, ergo sum' means. I'm taking my second year of Latin right now, so that helped. I knew that 'servo' means 'I serve', and that 'sum' means 'I am'. But the 'ergo' confused me. After a bit of conversation with my teacher, we determined that the phrase meant 'I serve, therefore I am.' :superfunny: You've gotta admit, Binky's been creative with these.

 

I was in another fencing tournament yesterday. I did pretty well during my preliminary rounds. I made it through the first direct elimination fine too. But then a problem arose. Because of my standings in the prelims, I ended up having to fence the top fencer in the event for my second DE. I held out for about half of it, then I pretty much bombed the rest. The guys been fencing for probably 20 years, so I wasn't surprised. Even so, making it that far was pretty good. I ended up becoming 7th in the state. :happydance:

Linguam latinam discis? Optimus est. Etiam disco. :happydance:

 

(A word of advice: when in doubt, look at the word. If it looks like a word in English, it may very well be related. In this instance, ergo can just mean "ergo." ^_^ )

The "servo, ergo sum" is probably a knockoff of Some thing Des Cartes said, "cogito, ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am.) It's kind of a famous quote.

 

You fence? That's cool. I do, too, but I'm not really that good.. the only tournaments I've been in have been with my school. I'm jealous :P
