  • Its cute that you think ill ever think of you or this again, after this.

    I used it colloquially. Whats your problem here? Are you the only person who can use colloquial terms? What, do you not understand the very basics of linguistics or something?

    Anything but talk about you "not a hard N" argument huh?

    • So now you think "colloquial" means whatever language?

      I can't believe you keep topping this every reply. Each better than the last. Ah, brilliant.

      So again, common usage defines usage. Why do you keep arguing over things you know you don't know shit about, when you keep humiliating yourself by doing it? I genuinely don't understand why you wouldn't spend a while learning what these terms actually mean so that you could improve your replies?

      Right now it's like... uh, how to describe it... Well, imagine overhearing some 9-year olds talking about how "you're supposed to pee in the butt to make a baby". You'd know how they're mistaken, and you'd understand that with their level of knowledge, such a silly and childish assumption isn't too unreasonable to make.

      But now I've treated you like an adult for several comments, as have others, carefully and still respectfully detailing to you what you've got so wrong with your pretentious language use, but you won't hear any of it. It's incredible, truly. :D

      NO-ONE uses "linguistics" synonymously with "language", just like no-one uses "driving" as a a synonym for "car", unless they're so inexperienced with the language that they haven't had time for language acquisition.

      You said: "If I didn’t understand "the very basis of linguistics, why would you write to me? Come on now. Think before you talk."

      Do you deny saying that, or do you just deny that it's in any way wrong? Because it's either or. I guess you deny there's anything wrong with it. When there is. Very clearly. Almost as if you had some sort of inability to admit when you're wrong. ;)
