How to and not to translate English into Latin:

Bad: ille celer fuscus vulpes saltus super ille ignavus canes

That fast brown man having been covered as a fox, that lazy man above dogs.

Better: Vulpes fusca celer trans canes segnes salit

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dogs.

The moral of the story is: check your cases and don't be too lazy about word order because despite what teachers tell you it does matter!

The Romans really went off with 'nisi fallor'. All the English online equivalents simply do not compare.

'if I remember correctly' -> wordy, stupid, too long

'as far as I know' -> sounds bad, clunky, can't say it quickly

'afaik' -> unpronounceable, weird looking

'iirc' -> gibberish, incomprehensible, too many i's

'nisi fallor' -> good length, easy & fun to say, can be thrown in anywhere quickly, literally 'unless I am deceiving myself' which is sick
