User:Cogitata

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When choosing the name for my Internet presence I went to great pains to make myself feel like a character in a cool science fiction film whilst at the same time reflecting the nature I desire for that presence.

To cogitate is to consider, reflect, and not in a superficial way; rather it expresses the concept, 'to chew over'. Cows are either rather vacant, or considering a question we cannot even begin to imagine.

'Cogitata' then, I reasoned, could be the objects of thought, plural of 'cogitatum'. Bear in mind an almost absolute ignorance of Latin, but a mild propensity for linguistics.
