You're not even a linguist.

Maybe, but the linguistics change the rules according to how the language is used by others. So, who is actually setting the rules of language here?

True. Still, I don't think a single person using "banana" as verb makes it a thing.

One person also made up "firetruck this", and that became a thing.

That is in the range of "complete bullcrap".
And no, "bullcrap" is not a word.

If you start saying things that are not a word, then why do you complain about me using a word like a verb that's not a verb?

Ara Av-Toa · « **Reply #23631 on:** February 06, 2019, 05:53:56 PM »

At least I acknowledge my idiocity.

Michen_S · « **Reply #23632 on:** February 06, 2019, 05:59:07 PM »

Oh, yeah, sure. That justifies everything. [/sarcasm]

Ok, you win!

Michen_S · « **Reply #23634 on:** February 06, 2019, 06:09:50 PM »

Ooh boy, what prize do I get?

Ara Av-Toa · « **Reply #23635 on:** February 06, 2019, 06:13:02 PM »

You win... Absolutely nothing.

Michen_S · « **Reply #23636 on:** February 06, 2019, 06:14:01 PM »

That can't be the case, since I just won something.

Ara Av-Toa · « **Reply #23637 on:** February 06, 2019, 06:16:05 PM »

You won the argument! Isn't that enough?

Michen_S · « **Reply #23638 on:** February 06, 2019, 06:21:21 PM »

But then I won the argument, which isn't absolutely nothing.

Ara Av-Toa · « **Reply #23639 on:** February 06, 2019, 06:23:07 PM »

Fine!

Anything else you want to argue with me about?
