MrAce Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I don't think that there is anything wrong with ergo, it can be perfect in the right circumstances. If you are making the case for a new groundbreaking theory that could change the history of mankind, you haven't let the conclusion out of the box yet, you let the pressure and suspense build up and up until suddenly, after your final logical step, you conclude after a moment's pause that...... "ERGO, THE WEAK NOTRUMP PLAYED BY AN EXPERT PARTNERSHIP IS CONSIDERABLY BETTER THAN A STRONG NOTRUMP!", that would be a good occasion for the word. I think that thus or therefore wouldn't quite do it, but hence would work just as well. Ok, now i understood it much better. Thank you.

rmnka447 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Probably, "For example" would have been better. Yes, I a native born American. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Ergo simply means "therefore".That's what my Italian->English dictionary translates it as B-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
