A quick definition of incorporamus:

Term: incorporamus

Definition: Incorporamus is a fancy Latin word that means "we incorporate." It was used in the past to show that someone wanted to create a corporation. A corporation is a special kind of business that has legal rights and responsibilities, like a person. To create a corporation, the king or queen would give a special document called a "charter of incorporation" that used words like "creamus, erigimus, fundamus, incorporamus." Nowadays, we don't use this word very often, but it was important in the past for creating businesses.

A more thorough explanation:

incorporamus

When someone says "incorporamus" (in-kor-p-ray-mus), they mean that they want to create a corporation.

When a group of people want to start a business together, they might say "incorporamus" to show that they want to create a corporation. This means that they want to legally create a new entity that can own property, make money, and enter into contracts.

With respect to graduate or professional school, are you or will you be in the first generation of (i) your immediate family, or (ii) the household(s) in which you grew up, to graduate from such a school?
[] baddestbunny
19:58
sorry that's not the question
1a2b3c4d26z
19:58
nope
[] baddestbunny
19:58
do you think non-custodial parent counts here?
[] baddestbunny
19:58
like they are immediate family but I didn't grow up with them
1a2b3c4d26z
19:58
Sure yea
Hmm. If this Q is on a law school application it depends on what constitutes immediate family.

19:58
Feel like that's an inclusive or
[] baddestbunny
19:59
yeah I was trying to decide if it was meant to be inclusive
Oh wait the second part is household you grew up in. So, I think the answer would be yes.
[] baddestbunny
19:59
like my answer is no to the first one, yes to the second one
1a2b3c4d26z
19:59
I don't think a) anyone will find out whether you consider it inclusive nor b) care
1a2b3c4d26z
19:59
so go for it
1a2b3c4d26z
19:59

windyMagician
20:04

[] baddestbunny
20:04
the or was italicized originally if that helps at all
1a2b3c4d26z
20:05
Then it's totally inclusive
[] baddestbunny
20:06

Duke says: Will you be a first-generation professional student (i.e., none of your parent(s) or the people who raised you have a degree beyond the bachelor's level)?
[] baddestbunny
20:07
