Et tu, stultus

having never studied latin, i looked up stultus in an online latin dictionary and i see it means "fool". however, even not knowing latin, it seems to me you are using the incorrect grammatical case for stultus. if you look at the famous, "Et tu, Brute", you see Brutus is in the vocative case, which is distinguished from the nominative case by the "e" ending as required for masculine singular second declension for nouns that end in "us" in the nominative case. since stultus also ends with "us", it seems you should write, "Et tu, stulte."

or risk looking foolish.

you can read about the vocative here:
