I was disguessing a logical fallicy with a another person on here and I wrote that. The first word was edited out. I know that we are only allowed to speak English. But it is a Latin phrase, pretty normal in law and logic. Why would yahoo answers care that I am using a logical argument, and in just that one word?

There are two, post hoc, is one kind of argument, and c.u.m. hoc is another. They are two different kinds of logical fallicy.

The first word that got edited out is also a sexually-oriented word that is not really appropriate for this forum. I'm guessing it's simply caught by the filters, and not taken in context.

the correct phrase is "post hoc ergo propter hoc"
