   like why wouldn't you just say "forever"? that's why we have a word in modern english that describes the concept of something happening for eternity. there's two ways to say it right there off the top of my head that don't make you sound like a total fucking douche. can you imagine how much of a tool i would look like just going around randomly translating things i want to say to an ancient language that nobody uses anymore. you'd be like "gtfo".
   
   kind of reminds me of those boondock saints worshipping fucks who go around saying VERITAS AQUATICS like their momma just signed them up for swim lessons or something lol but they think they're hard and get a tattoo but just end up looking like some 21 year old chubby university student with black hair and thick framed glasses who just heard about communism last week and now takes every opportunity shit out random strings of complicated words in an attempt to sound intelligent

   the meaning is slightly different but I agree, people who shoehorn words and phrases like that into conversation are the verbal equivalent of public masturbators
   
   
   ergo fuck yourself

   Because ad infinitum and forever don't mean the same thing...
   
   
   
   Also, Why say forever when you could say always..

    forever means to continue forever, 'ad infinitum' means to repeat itself forever
    
    iteration is the difference, though I don't think I've ever actually heard it used in a sense where the distinction is important
