Language is a tool for communication - that is its purpose.* The fact that you understood what I said and then rejected it, tells me I successfully communicated. If you want to play a game of "let's be logical and consistent with the words we use, following a single particular System of game-play with language", then we can do that. But I'm trying to communicate a concept.* Not play a game.* Evidently, I succeeded.* I win :) [if It was a game I was playing :P ] I posted the same thing to my Facebook.* I got this response as one of them that I saw just now: "Me gustaria primero preguntarme que es lo normal??algo standar ,masivamente igualitario,yo me inclinaria por una sinonimia normal ser autentico al que le guste bien y al que no,no es mi problema" One of my friends is spanish and communicates ENTIRELY using Google Translate. My meaning was communicated successfully ACROSS languages and back again. I think that validates my point.* If you spent all your time looking at the parts, you never see the whole.* Gotta expand a little, otherwise you'll always be a provincial Internet debater, an Internet villager fighting over whether the local bridge should be painted or not.* You're way smarter than that.* That's not ad hominem; that's me trying to be helpful. You can tell me to fuck off, that's usually the appropriate response now, and I'll understand.* I deserve it. :P A helpful prick is still being a prick, and I know I was being a prick here.* Sorry :) I'll make my point even simpler.* Whether you agree or not doesn't matter; we just might be playing different games.* But I always win my game because my game is on the level of conceptual understanding, not agreement.* I'm playing a different game where everybody can win.* If the concept is successfully expressed and understood, which it was because you understood it then argued about it, here you can have the teddy bear.* Here. You win.* Have the Teddy bear.* I was being logically inconsistent and not playing fair by swapping the definitions of normal and weird that you use for normal and weird.* There.* You win your game, I win mine. :P
