A quick definition of sors:

Term: sors

Definition: Sors is a Latin word that has different meanings depending on the context. In Roman law, it means a chance or a lot. In Scots law, it refers to the capital of a partnership. In history, it can mean the principal amount recovered in a legal action, as opposed to just the costs.

A more thorough explanation:

Sors is a Latin term that has different meanings depending on the context. It can refer to:

  1. A lot or chance in Roman law. For example, in ancient Rome, people would draw lots to determine who would get a certain prize or punishment.
  2. The capital of a partnership in Scots law. For example, if two people start a business together, they might each contribute money to the sors or capital of the partnership.
  3. The principal amount recovered in a legal action, as opposed to just the costs. For example, if someone sues another person for damages, the sors would be the amount of money awarded to the plaintiff.

Examples:

  • In ancient Rome, soldiers would draw lots to determine who would get the best weapons and armor.
  • When two friends start a business together, they might each contribute $10,000 to the sors or capital of the partnership.
  • If a person wins a lawsuit and is awarded $50,000 in damages, the sors would be the $50,000, not any additional costs associated with the legal action.

These examples illustrate how sors can have different meanings depending on the legal or historical context in which it is used.

When I get home I think I will pull up a youtube yoga video and lay out the mat by the fireplace now, feeling guilty I haven't been stretching properly

Gotta always be ready to release that energy. Like if I am in a fight at the bar, I just gotta bust out a couple punches. No stretching.

@babycat: If the person I am mentoring decides to listen to my advice instead of just discussing my advice I will pay you to tutor her. You seem like a smart, good and well put together person that she can probably learn well from.
