Correct. Ergo I am accurate.

I fucking love the word 'ergo.'

Ergo is an awesome word.

I like the word Erg. I say it, and NO ONE has a fucking clue what I'm talking about.

*falls over* Thank you Sarah for proving my point XD

An Erg is an ergometer, it's a rowing machine, but fancier. Basically, it has all the pull and everything, but it also keeps track of your stroke count, your stroke speed, and how fast you are making your boat go.

It's a practice/exercise machine for rowers. I LOVE them. I want one.

It's not a made-up word!

It's also a scientific term, but ... I'm not good at explaining exactly what an erg is in science terms.

Must I break it down to the simplest terms for you people:

An erg is the unit of energy and mechanical work in the centimetre-gram-second (CGS) system of units, symbol "erg". Its name is derived from the Greek word meaning "work".

The erg is a small unit, equal to a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. In the CGS base units, it is equal to one gram-square centimeter per second squared (g·cm2/s2). It is thus equal to 1 × 10-7 joules or 0.1 microjoule (µJ) in SI units. It is approximately the amount of energy that a mosquito uses to take flight.

1 erg = 10-7 joule

1 joule = 107 ergs

From Greek ergon work [OED]
