»Ergo This... Ergo That.....«

Please can people stop using the word ergo!,

I understand that this may seem like a new "cool" word after it sprouted out of the architect mouth, but you people sound like idiots when you try and use it at every god given occasion.


That is all.

Given the fact that I am an idiot, I reserve the right to use the word 'ergo' when I feel like.

Personally, I don't like the expression "...every god given occasion". What should I call you?

ERGO, CONCORDANTLY, VIS A VIS

Karies?

what does Ergo mean anyway?

ergo ~= therefore ~= thus ~= it follows that ~= so ~= consequently

The reason I know that word, is when translating an arguement from symbolic logic notation to English, the word therefore tends to appear a lot. Since good writing requires accomodating the preferences of most readers, and because audiences by and large become disgustipated by overuse of the same word, a repetiore of synonyms is a requisite of recieving passing grades on papers submitted to professors at Universities.
I suspect we owe the sharp rise in the use of this term to this pairing of circumstances: This lexicon, while having common application, was a previously essoteric term. Secondly, the Architech sounds like total pimp using it, and everybody wants to be big-dog playa!

I am guessing "sounding pimp" is a cool thing.
