question about latin in wikipedia

"Cogito, ego sum" or "cogito, ergo sum".
Which is the correct sentence said by Rene Descartes?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogito_ergo_sum

I correct the sentence, but why those stupid wiki users insist "cogito,eRgo sum"?

ERgo, donc:

Català: "Pens, doncs sóc".

Francès: "Je pense, donc je suis".

Espanyol: "Pienso, luego existo".

Before correcting, you must check you sources. Would save people a lot of trouble.

Italiano: "Penso, dunque sono".

Deutsch: "Ich denke, folglich bin ich"

Nederlands: "Ik denk, daarom ben ik"

English: "I think, therefore I am"

Swedish: "Jag funderar (tänkar), därför jag är"

Norwegian: "Jeg tenker (tror), derfor jeg er"

Frisian: "Ik mien, dêrom ik ben"

Czech: Myslím, tedy jsem
Polish: myślę więc jestem
Slovak: Myslím, teda som

question on the Germanics:

do most th- words in English come from Old Scandanavian? Infact the English looks more akin to the Northern languages "think=tenker" and "derfor=therefore".

Also, "ergo" exist and is used in English, so why is it not "I think, ergo I am"; just because therefore sounds better in this sentence?

"Also, "ergo" exist and is used in English, so why is it not "I think, ergo I am"; just because therefore sounds better in this sentence?"

"Cogito" and "ergo" are still used in italian, but are considered arcaic.

There's also: "Coito, ergo sum". I'm not sure how grammatically correct it is.

<<do most th- words in English come from Old Scandanavian? Infact the English looks more akin to the Northern languages "think=tenker" and "derfor=therefore". >>

Some do, some do not.
"Th-" words in English usually come from Middle English < Old English [eg. "this" < ME "this/þis" < OE "þis"; 'þ' = "th"]; or from Middle English < Old Norse ["thwart" < ME "thwert/þwert" < ON "ðvert"; 'ð' = "th"]. It is a mixture of both.

Others come ultimately from Greek (cf "theatre", "theme", etc)

<Infact the English looks more akin to the Northern languages>

Because of the relatively more recent Scandinavian influence on the English language, this is true. English oftentimes resembles the Scandinavian languages more than genetically-closer related tongues like Dutch and German.

<<Also, "ergo" exist and is used in English, so why is it not "I think, ergo I am"; just because therefore sounds better in this sentence? >>

Even though "ergo" exists in English and means "therefore", this is still considered a 'Latin term' and not really an English word. As such, it is used mainly in legal language, or when someone really wants to sound pompous or super-bookish. I would never actually use "ergo" unless I wanted to sound such.

Ergo exists in Spanish and is a very usual word:

ergo.

(Del lat. ergo).

1. conj. Por tanto, luego, pues. U. en la argumentación silogística. U. t. en sent. fest.

Italiano: "Penso, dunque sono".
Català: "Pens, doncs sóc".
Espanyol: "Pienso, luego existo".

Catalan seems really simitar to Italian, more than Spanish.
