I think it should be: Cogito, ergo sum insomnes...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Don't be trying none of those preversions here:
Google Tranalate - "But also mind, and have a sheep?"

Which is weird, because it was Google Translate I used to generate it in the first place!

Shirley it's:

Your daughter's school is still teaching Latin? Run awaaaay!

Latin and, later, Greek. Also she's doing French, that'll be complimented by German next year and the option of a third modern language by GCSE.
Oh, she also studies Hungarian.

Which German will compliment her?

She's blonde, blue eyed and fair of skin. They all will!

Nope, what you have there is correct IMHO.
The word order of the last part doesn't matter in Latin, and the case/tense are correct if the speaker is a male entity.

-Wheelock's Latin, 6th Edition Revised
-Several years of personal Latin study

Looks OK to me.

What would you know about Latin? You're a furriner!
You Italians and your modern new fangled languages...

(ps, thanks, and long time no chat)

cogito ergo Nihil enim somni
is the best I can come up with.
I had to time-travel back to the year 3 and chat so some roman soldiers, who talked for ages about their fields and who they loved, for some reason.

Back in High School I could have solved that for you, but I can't improve on what you two have come up with. Perhaps 'sans somnis' might work in place of 'insomnis' but it's been 40+ years since I've had a Roman to talk to.

... is great. Just wanted to say it. I don'T know how much read & search work it takes to gather all the articles, but I really enjoy reading it. And Kent has definitely a talent for one-liners.
