As a yachtsman, I must object to your unilateral banning of this word, "ergo." As any sailor knows, "ergo," is a Norwegian scientific unit of measurement, specifically used to indicate brake Horsepower produced by single-cylinder Norwegian diesel engines.
Q:
"Yo, Ragnar, what is the output of that one-lunger you got dere?"
A:
"Ergo. I need to put the same arm moxie on da flywheel as it takes to lift two cases of da lutefisk."
Of course I must point out that in Norway, real men do not use the compression release lever in handstarting dose tings.
