    “Colloquially” doesn’t mean “it’s to be taken however I later decide it will”.

    Why won’t you just google these terms you CLEARLY do not understand? It’s beyond incredible to me that someone who knows they’re completely unaware of a thing starts arguing over it as if they actually were an expert.

    The fact that this is an informal conversation doesn’t change the meaning of your sentence in the slightest, nor the mistake you made.

    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.

        “not including colloquialisms”

        It’s like watching a six year old talk about car parts. They think they’re making valid, adult sentences with meaning, and are completely oblivious to the adults laughing at them.

        You’re simply raging that you can’t admit to having publicly humiliated yourself with your own stupidity. You can’t walk back on it, and removing the comments at this point would be ridiculous by any standards. So you obsess over this “conversation”, you have to reply, but you simply can’t address the fact that for the entire thread, it’s been about linguistics, and you don’t even understand what the term means.

        ##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.

            Why are you so desperately trying to conflate Israel to the entirety of Jewish people?

            You’re proudly spamming comments which say “I don’t read the comments I’m replying to”. That will look great when you’re trying to pretend to know how to talk like an adult in some other threads, they go and check your profile and see you spamming “I DON’T READ, BUT I OBSESS OVER REPLYING”. I imagine a lot of people will save a lot of time.

            Doesn’t matter how long you have this tantrum for. You were utterly wrong and said stupid shit that you can’t recover from. Just stop replying. It’ll be so much better for you. You don’t understand how linguistics work, you don’t understand what “colloquial” means and you’re clearly unable to get that information from Google, which is weird as fuck.

            Calling Israelis nazis is linguistically correct and to say it isn’t is a linguistic error.

            Still haven’t asked me what religion I was brought up in. Afraid of the answer my little “linguistics is synonymous with language”…?

            Remember when you said “I said it colloquially”, thinking “colloquial” means “whatever I want a word to mean”, because you don’t understand what common usage is? Remember when you — at the top of the thread — were so insistent that you “can’t just make up meanings for words”? Yeah, I agree. That’s why it’s okay to call Israeli fascist nazis. You on the other hand, are making shit up. Like “the hard N” :D What a pathetic and weak argument from a sore loser.

            You said dumb shit. Own up to it.

            ##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. ;)

              The Israelis you’re calling nazis are Jewish. So, you are calling Jewish people nazis which is an antisemitic thing to do.

              What are you writing so much bullshit to defend antisemitism? Its almost as if you can’t admit to making a mistake or something. Most people just go like “oh yeah, I see now” and move on with their lives.

              Not you though. No, you HAVE to be antisemitic and will write essays defending it because you can’t admit to making a mistake.

                Remember when you were vehement that you’re not a little child with an inability to own up to their own mistakes?

                Remember when you ignored all the people teaching you what descriptive language means and how it works?

                Remember when you then pretended to understand what people were telling you, so you wrote things like “If I didn’t understand the basis of linguistics, why would you write to me?” and didn’t understand just how incredibly wrong that sentence is, and then proceeded to get angry so you started to blame me for being an antisemite, because you’re a sore loser?

                Remember that? ;)

                https://www.britannica.com/dictionary/Nazi

                disapproving : an evil person who wants to use power to control and harm other people especially because of their race, religion, etc.

                Matches up pretty well. Shall we go over “colloquial” and “common usage” again? No? You’re gonna stomp your foot and cry while you desperately ignore why were in this thread to start with, while using the excuse of “not even reading” the replies you reply to? :DD

                  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.

                    Your history is gonna look wonderful when you spam the copy of a reply. Gonna look real mature to be having a tantrum over trying to hide from a stupid thing you said.

                    You’re genuinely so mad I don’t know why you didn’t take my advice three days ago and stop replying to prevent further public humiliation of yourself by saying “linguistics is the same thing as language if you speak a language you’re a linguistics-understandererer” :DD
