    Either way, stop trying to show off.

    Showing off what? A common Latin term that's shorter than the English equivalent? These aren't spells learned at Hogwarts so you needn't be scared.

    Una lingua numquam satis est. Now that is showing off.

    That sounds like an ad hominem personal attack.

    I'm aware it's Latin thanks, I learnt in in my first economics class 13 years ago, and promptly left it there as ridiculous, pompous, exclusionist jargon that has perfectly serviceable english equivalents that readers can understand.  This isn't an economics or Latin thread, so leave it out.

    Not at all.  It's an appropriate instruction to someone who I don't like or respect.

    So we're to leave out all parts of wonderful English lexicon that didn't originate with English. Good luck with that.

    Non certe.

    It's been a long time since my one semester of Latin, but I remember it as quod certe non.

    Didn't say that.  Said stop showing off.  Ceteris paribus is not a common phrase outside of economics, nor a particularly interesting one, since it's easily phrased in english.

     

    If you're speaking/writing in english and an english equivalent exists for the uncommon non-english phrase you're tempted to use, then use it.  Else, you're indulging in literary look-at-me-ism.

    1) It is.

    2) What Latin phrase isn't easily stated in English?

    3) I love who you're choosing which words and phrases can and can't be used in English simply because you're either not familiar nor comfortable with them. You must hate Shakespeare.

    4) I'm off to the cinema er, theater, big room to watch moving pictures whilst while and eat corn that has since inverted due to extreme internal pressure.

    Ceteris paribus is common in your average, everyday lexicon?  No it isn't.  Phrases that a show-off italicises generally aren't.  Nice try.

     

    Both familiar and comfortable thanks, and was at The Globe last month.  But again, nice try.

     

    Most Latin phrases are easily stated in English.  This is true.  Ergo, don't use Latin phrases unless you want to look like a douche.  It's a dead language. Yes, I realise ergo is French, it's satire.

    Nope, it's from Latin which makes it ironic, ignorant, hypocritical, and fucking hilarious.

    Ironic I'll take, it's a bit ironic.

    Ignorant I'll also take, though actually I do know it's Latin, not really sure I was thinking.

    Hypocritical, not sure how that follows.

    Fucking hilarious, whatever floats your boat.

     

    Never claimed to be perfect.

    You said not to use Latin words and then went on to use a Latin word yourself.

    Sounds as though someone needs to brush up on their latin, rather than descend into silly temper tantrums.

    You do realise you've just used a Latin word?

    Too funny! ????

    I see you got there first.

    What a wonderful example of a pot and a kettle has been demonstrated by Crowley!
