Have You Ever Been Stood Up?

Not for a date, but I have been stood up by friends who said they were gonna come over and hang out that never did. It sucked too, since I was all ready to go out and hang out with them. So I guess that counts.
 
You have thick sponges taped to the corners of your coffee table, don't you?

Uhm, no? I just have very good connections in the SAF and USMC. Most of my external computer hardware is surplus.

Ergo, your nefarious plan to slay my computer is spoiled.
 
Who's Ergo?

Ergo,
from Latin, 1350–1400. conjunction, adverb

therefore, accordingly, consequently, hence, so, thereupon, thus,

Geeze. Like I took Latin or something. How would you expect all these English speakers to know that word? I bet you know one else here knew "ergo". Anyway, thank you so much. I'd never heard or seen that word before. This is absolutely my first exposure ever to that word. I'm am grateful to you for helping me learn something new. How do you pronounce it? Uhr-go?
 
For some reason my side is beggining to ache. I wonder what could be causing that?! :shifty:

Its actually a pretty common for a word that originated in latin. Its often used in formal circumstances.

Pronounce it? I think "Uhr-go" is as close as you're gonna get. I'm sure you've heard, "Cognito ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am.)
