Its an antisemitic action. If you don't intend on doing antisemitic things, do something else. It doesn't mean that genocide isn't happening in Palestine. It doesn't mean that words don't have secondary meanings either.
I'm ok for ad. populums but thanks all the same. Its a very sad reflection on you that you would think it would bother someone.
If I didn't understand "the very basis of linguistics, why would you write to me? Come on now. Think before you talk.
Again, why do you HAVE to use that one word. Why can't it be replaced by fascist, genocidal facsist or whatever? Why do you refuse to back down over using the one word that makes people dismiss what people say about Palestine?
Its almost as if you care more for calling Jewish people nazis than you do raising awareness of the genocide going on in gaza.
It's not action, it's expression.
Hahahahahhahahaha. I can't believe you wrote that. This is THE most hilarious and ironic thing I've read in weeks. Your understanding of linguistics is so bad, that you're using it in place of "language", thinking they are synonyms, which they are NOT. That is. BRILLIANT. Fking saved. :D Thank you.
Again, what's with the obsession to make this about Judaism? Why do you constantly try to shift discussion from Israel to Jewish people in general? Why?
If one chooses on purpose to call Israelis Nazis, perhaps it's because it's extremely ironic the #neveragain people are committing a holocaust themselves. Since you accept that Israel is genociding Palestinians, do you not find it ironic?
So here are the facts: Israel is doing heinous fascist shit. "Nazi" is a synonym for fascist.
You don't disagree with the first fact. You don't disagree with the second fact. But you're still not ready to accept, even in part, that you didn't understand what "prescriptive" and "descriptive" meant before this thread and now you're DESPERATELY trying to save your spectacular fail, by trying somehow to ignore your own errors.
"The very basics of linguistics"
Yeah, not knowing the very basics would preclude someone from reading. Your unhinged reply was very funny though. The more "haha"s you write, the more believable and less desperate it sounds.....
Its very ironic yes. Still doesn't make it ok or not OK though does it? Its so sad to see someone who thinks they're so much smarter than they actually are have to resort to this kind of thing, to maintain their delusion.
The point is, it doesn't matter if the use here prescriptive or not. It would still fall under the definition of an antisemitic thing to do. It bizzare that you ever convinced yourself that it would change anything. If you reject the EHRC definition of antisemitism, then thats one thing but to think you can get around it with something like that is just tragic.
No. Fucking. Way. This is comedy gold and you're genuinely making my sides hurt, as I broke a rib on the weekend and I can't help laughing. Even though I explicitly explained your last mistake, you made it again, digging in your heels to your stupidity, when I gave you an out from that shame? ABsolutely brilliant. :D
as opposed to "LANGUAGE"
Not knowing THE LANGUAGE would preclude you from reading. Not knowing linguistics doesn't. That's like saying that if you haven't studied psychology, that you can't have emotions. Or that you can't drive a car if you're not a mechanic. Or that you can't vote if you're not a politician.
Absolutely HILARIOUS of a reply, which makes it very clear for anyone reading this just how valid your opinions on language use are. :D
Oh, so maybe you could explain how someone could read without any knowledge of even basic grammar or knowledge of the structure of the language they're reading?
So, are you saying you reject their definition of antisemitism or not? I must have missed it in amongst all of your maturity in dealing with opposing opinions.
Perhaps you can explain how people can manage to drive cars without understanding the basics of mechanical engineering? HOW? Perhaps because driving a car and building one is different?
Just like using language and studying it? Humans have something called language acquisition. It's a term you'd definitely hear in any sort of a beginner linguistics class, probably on the first lesson. There's also a very strong reason why it's not called "linguistics acquisition". Can you perhaps already piece it together from all the things I've explicitly tought you? (And you don't understand how hard you're projecting when you write things like "maybe you should've googled a few things before replying"?)
See the thing I said about you being literally unable to accept mistakes? This is one of them. And you won't be able to accept the fact that you confused "linguistics" with "language". When it's right there, for all to see.
#HI-LA-RI-OUS
You would still need to has some basic understanding of grammar and to have studied the structure, grammar and syntax to be able to read. You walked yourself into a dead end there and now you're trying to insult your way out of it. It might work on some but that won't work on me.
I've made lots of mistakes in my life. One would be engaging with someone like you, with such poor social skills. There you go, one mistake admitted. So, no only are you wrong, there's literally no way you could ever tell if I was
It seems that, instead, you were just shame dumbing from yourself, all the while claiming that I'm projecting, without a hint of irony. I haven't seen it to your extent in the wild for a long time.
No, you do not. Again, the very basics of linguistics. That is exactly like you saying that to drive a car you need to understand the basics of mechanical engineering. Then you'd make the argument that "to understand how brakes and the accelerator work you need to understand Newton's laws of motions, the basics of mechanical engineering".
No-one would claim that. And you know that. You know how ridiculous you are being, and you know I know it. But again, it's not about me. It's about you. You can't admit to yourself that you've made a mistake. You can't accept having been wrong. And that quality in you will fuck your life over, mark my words.
Humans naturally possess language acquisition. You do not need to even understand the concept of syntax or grammar to be able to correctly utilise both. I honestly keep overestimating you with each reply. Like I said some replies ago, it would've been far better for you to stop replying a long time ago. Now you'll have made so many comments that removing or editing them will seem very silly indeed, and you have dug your heels in with this asinine denial of a simple mistake.
You're trying to avoid looking dumb, but the only thing you're doing to do that is making you look even dumber. Highly entertaining. But not as entertaining as this HDR version of Logan, so since you won't stop replying (because you're obsessing over this, since you can't accept being wrong), I'll be back later tonight or tomorrow. See you.
edit breaks -> brakes (see how easy it is to admit to mistakes?)
And on and on and on and on they went. They even planned to carry on the next day whether anyone was reading their replies or not and they would do so without a hint of irony.
Oh it's not about people reading the replies.
It's about you, writing replies that you'll later feel ashamed of. :)
You said that. You keep pretending to understand things you don't have the faintest grasp over. You have the internet. Why don't you just... check?
Come on now. Check before you write.
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. ;)
Imagine spending all that time and typing all that out in defence of calling Jewish people nazis. As if you thought I'd bother reading all your self masturbatory bullshit.
You can't admit that its wrong to call Jewish people nazis and you bang on and on like that.
Grow up and admit you're wrong to do that and that it not being a hard N is a joke of an attempt to justify it.
You're so incapable of admitting to mistakes, that you'll lie about not being unable to, while showing everyone you are. Who exactly do you think your deceiving? Yourself of course.
You're making up shit and getting offended when people call you out on it. "The Hard N" is just so brilliant as well. It showcases that you don't actually understand what the difference is between a hard and a soft consonant actually even is. This whole thread has been about linguistics which you don't have the faintest idea of, and which you're willfully ignoring, despite everyone trying to politely teach you. It's amazing.
It's not wrong to call Israelis nazis, no. It's common usage and quite valid, as dozens of people in this thread have tried telling you, but you're probably cognitively unable to go read short Wikipedia articles so you'd understand why everyone was laughing at your comments, just like you're unable to admit to any mistakes. I'll prove that. For several comments now, you've ignored the simple mistake you make, because you can't defend it, but you're not man enough to say "yeah, I made a mistake because I confused the words". There's nothing wrong with making mistakes, buddy. But there is a lot wrong in making mistakes and then doubling down into them.
We've been through what "common use" is and how in informal conversation, the word "nazi" is completely apt and linguistically correct of a term to use for the fascists Israelis. I know you would like to go back to being furious over things you don't understand, but we're still on the point about you not being able to admit to being wrong. :) I'll prove it ONCE again, by leaving these as the clear last lines, which you will purposefully ignore:
##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. ;)
You still can't admit that calling Jewish people nazis is wrong huh? As if you spent all that time writing that bullshit out that no one will read, not even me, to attempt to justify being antisemitic is just tragic.
Its almost as if you have an inability to admit when you're wrong. What a sad, hateful little boy you must be.
Its cool though. The longer you're here typing out bullshit no one will read, the more you're kept away from children and small animals.
Oh, wow, you're still desperately ignoring your silly little mistake, ashamed as you are of having publicly made a fool of yourself.
So like I asked in my very first comment, it would be antisemitic of me to call [these Jewish people] nazis? By your logic it is antisemitic.
Why are you replying to comments you claim to not even read? Why would you do that on a forum? You're PROUD to be ignorant of the things you're replying to? At this point, do you see the point I made several days ago about how you should just stop replying so that you'll spare yourself more humiliation? This is exactly what I meant. :D
##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. ;)
Still trying to defend calling Jewish people nazis huh?
Wow, its like you can't admit you made a mistake or something.
Don't take it personally, I'm sure most people you know ignore you and don't read the things you write. Theres no need to single me out for it.
Oh, https://www.britannica.com/dictionary/Nazi looks like the world is on my side, little mister "I'm-too-lazy-to-google-words-I-don't-understand".
Do you think obsessively replying that "I'm not reading your replies" while ignoring your childish mistakes will make me stop this? Because it wont'. Your pathetic "I'm gonna accuse you of antisemitism so I don't have to admit my mistakes" is sort of exactly the same what Israel is doing in Palestine. Dumb shit that's wrong, which they will never fess up to.
##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.”

It's gonna be so good to check your profile, because because there will be such a huge period of these comments that all the people you argue in the future will see this and know what sort of a person you are. :)
No one is reading your bullshit.
Why are you defending antisemitism so much? Why can't you just be a grown up and admit its a wrong thing to call any Jewish person a nazi?
Please, keep going. The longer I keep you away from children and small animals the better.
"I'm replying to things I don't even read!"
So, you're proud to be ignorant of things? So you're proud to have ignored all the people who actually tried teaching you the basics of linguistics? Which again, I remind you, isn't the same as "language", unlike you think.
Why do you defend antisemitism so strongly? Why can't you just admit that calling any Jewish person a nazi is wrong?
Keep typing that bullshit that no one will read. I'm doing a public service by keeping you away from children and small animals.
I'm sure you won't look at these comments in a day or two while cringing.
Definitely not gonna regret spamming "I don't read what I reply to I didn't say nothing stooopid, "linguistics" means "language"
Why do you defend antisemitism so strongly? Why can't you just admit that calling any Jewish person a nazi is wrong?

At this rate, you're gonna be creating a new account for yourself or deleting like a week of activity. 🖕
It's great.
"OFC I know what that means. If I didn't know linguistics, how could I otherwise speak, huh??!?!?"
:DD
Why do you defend antisemitism so strongly? Why can't you just admit that calling any Jewish person a nazi is wrong? Imagine having such a sad, lonely and empty life that you even claim to enjoy being wrong about calling Jewish people nazis.
Keep typing that bullshit that no one will read. I'm doing a public service by keeping you away from children and small animals.
This whole "call them an anti-semite, that will mean that none of the very clear mistakes you yourself made will have happened" fantasy is quite weird, honestly.
It doesn't work for Israel trying to deny the genocide they're doing, and it doesn't work for you trying to deny your childish "language means the same as linguistics" crap. :)
You're stupid. You can't escape it no matter how much you spam. You could escape it by actually reading what "linguistics" means and what it is, but... you won't, will you, because you're proud to NOT READ :D

Why are you in this thread?
I'm here to talk about the linguistics. A word you don't understand and have admitted to being too stupid to even Google. :D
It's not synonymous with "language" silly
Lol this child still ranting at a copy and paste message, after 3 days because they can't accept that its not OK to call Jewish people nazis, specifically due to the nazis genocide of Jewish people.
You did make me realise, you're even more disturbed and unhinged than I thought you were and I was wrong in trying to engage you, as if you didn't have a personality disorder or something. I now see this is the closest thing you get to genuine human interaction.
So, as such, I'm going to do what everyone else in your sad, lonely little life does: I'm going to ignore you. Please do feel free to reply and to scream into the void. It won't be read.
Who are you talking to?
You don't read the messages and you don't believe anyone else will ever see your publicly recorded idiocy, right?
I told you that would happen, days and days ago.
You're obsessing over replying to a thread you hate because you accidentally said something silly and now have to pretend you didn't.
I'm enjoying this, like, I said from the start. You're my personal entertainment, hunny.
"It won't be read. I won't be back. I don't have an inability to admit to my own personal mistakes. I do understand the 'basis of linguistics'. If I didn't, however else would I be talking, right???"
You really should stop replying, as I told you days ago. But you're angry that you proved yourself an idiot so now youre fighting against it
You don't understand what the terms "prescriptive", "descriptive", "colloquial" etc mean, even though **you're on the internet and it'd take an average person like 3min to read up on. :D
I told you days ago, you should've stopped.
GREAT looking profile, doesn't look UNHINGED at all, does it...? ;>
