Previous Entry  Add to memories!  Tell a Friend!  Next Entry
I was checking my friends page over at LJ, when at the top I spot a post by nyjoder over at stupid_free. After some link checking, I think I've got the gist of why "twatwaffle" has his knickers in a twist.

You see, stupid_free linked to a post over at thequestionclub where njyoder was being a dick informing the OP that her icon was most misleading. It didn't show, in his tactful words, "how fat you truly are." Needless to say, there is wank (and a mod smackdown), which is why it was on stupid_free.

But that's not the only thing that made it to the community, as everyone's favorite long-winded wonder shows up himself. He's determine to help the stupid people of the world understand the true meaning of "misleading":

mis·lead /mɪsˈlid/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[mis-leed] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation verb, -led, -lead·ing. –verb (used with object) 1. to lead or guide wrongly; lead astray. 2. to lead into error of conduct, thought, or judgment. –verb (used without object) 3. to be misleading; tend to deceive: vague directions that often mislead

Clearly, people with icons of anime characters and animals are intending to deceive people into think that they're not actually live human beings! And just look at all the people who fell into the deception...all, 0 of them. And people using real pictures of themselves on the internet that deliberately try to hide their ugliness? Not deceptive at all. People never try to do that anyway. Prediction: many stupid, unrelated and uncreative insults to this post, because they lack the ability to defend their ignorance of the word 'misleading.'


Did anyone defend their ignorance of misleading? I honestly don't know. Did everyone and their brother poke/mock the troll? You bet your sweet ass they did.

I can understand why you don't want to look bad given what you said, but there comes a time when you've got to admit you are wrong.

This is that time. There is nothing to argue. It was a typo. It happens to everyone.

You people are getting way too predictable. The instant you realize that I've proven you wrong about this argument over 'eachother,' you fall back and just whine that I absolutely must have made a typo--because you absolutely can't admit that you're wrong to me. You have to preserve your tiny egos.

Let me just make this even more clear. 'Eachother' is in common usage, so the naked assumption that it was a typo is unfounded on that basis alone. Add to that the fact I freely admit to making typos and have done so in that very post, and you begin to look very silly.

It's time to admit that you made an error. I know that, no matter what, your ego will refuse to allow you to admit to making an error to me, but now is the time to grow up and mature.

The instant you realize that I've proven you wrong about this argument...

You have yet to submit any form of proof.

On the other hand, I looked it up in a dictionary, and it is clearly composed to two separate words.

Just because you want it to show up in a dictionary doesn't mean that's going to happen.

I have submitted proof, both here and in the linked post, multiple times. You, on the other hand, have submitted no proof of your assertion.

I wasn't aware that something wasn't a word until the dictionary says it is. I'll have to take that up with the linguists I know, because that goes against everything in their field of study.

You have not provided anything, other than proof that you do not understand how to read a dictionary, and on top of that, that you are resentful of people who can.

Please, find an Modern American English dictionary that recognizes "each" and "other" as one word, ONE WORD and NOT two. This does not mean search results, or group polls, or a long-winded argument about egos and predictability. "Common usage" means dick; if it's not in the dictionary, it's not common enough to be anything but a typo.

This means I challenge you to put your money where your mouth is. You say "eachother" is a word and not a typo. Prove it. Find dictionary that says it is. Find some major and reputed authority on the English language as we speak it today to back you up.


PROVE IT, and prove it NOW, or shut up forever.

Care to back up this assertion? Oh wait, you can't. :-/ Must suck pulling shit out of your ass.

Millions of hits in Google. Interesting, but I guess millions = uncommon, lol

Prove it. Find dictionary that says it is.

You prove that it needs to be in the dictionary for you to be right. Oh yeah, you can't, because you're talking out of your ass AGAIN!

Out of curiosity, since you're the expert linguist, what does determine correctness of language? I have actually studied linguistics, so I know, but I want to hear your "highly informed" opinion.

Find some major and reputed authority on the English language as we speak it today to back you up.

And you don't have to find one to back you up? Interesting. You set higher standards for me than yourself, so that you don't have to back up what you say.

PROVE IT, and prove it NOW, or shut up forever.

I HAVE proven it. The fact that you have poor reading comprehension is not my fault. You, on the other hand, have presented no proof, which only further demonstrates what a small mind you have.

Okay, let's examine those Google hits you value so much:

"Eachother": 4,380,000
"Each other": 239,000,000*

On Yahoo!

"Eachother": 6,360,000**
"Each other": 177,000,000

* The first result was a dictionary definition.
** Did you mean: "each other"


Even if we were to entertain the notion that "common usage" means what you think it means...it completely failed you here. Completely and utterly failed you.

"Common" does not equal "small minority".

Ahhh, so you realized that I was right and abandoned your previous "it must be in the dictionary because I say so" line of argument.

Small minority of what? Of usages of all words combined? Compared to another, random word? What difference does it make if "each other" is more common than "eachother"? Since when does correctness rely on the _relative commonality_ of one random word/term (selected by cookie_love, the arbiter of correctness in language, of course) to another?

There are tons of words IN THE DICTIONARY that would get many less hits than that, FYI. Millions of uses is more than common enough. Perhaps you are bad at counting and the concept of 'millions' is over your head?

So out of curiosity, how many uses must a word have before it's consider correct? I know that you'll dodge, evade and refuse to try answering this. In case you do, I'll just pick out dictionary word that isn't common enough to meet your criteria of correctness.

No, no, NO you smug idiot. I'm trying to show you that even by your own faulty logic, you are WRONG!

There is nothing, NOTHING, in the results to prove your point. It means no matter how you slice it, you are wrong.

So out of curiosity, how many uses must a word have before it's consider correct?

Are you on crack? How many times to I have to tell you I'm not the only that's making you wrong here. Ask the experts why you are wrong. They're the ones shooting you down.

I haven't seen Nathan wank this hard since he vehemently insisted that there was no way radiotherapy could possibly cause secondary cancers.

He's so much fun when he's insisting he's right and you're sitting there looking at proof that he's wrong.

Were you looking in a mirror when you said this, because even I could never sum up your personal issues that brilliantly. Listen to your subconscious, NJ, it's trying to tell you something! And please know that trying to pin your screw-ups and your errors on other people is just plain sad. This is between you and the English language. Go flail at it for not backing up your typos.

It's pretty sad that you read what I said and still managed to type out this reply without managing to feel ashamed at yourself. Or DO you feel ashamed? I'll repeat one of the main parts that you ignored: I freely and openly admit when I make typos and I have even done so in the linked posts. So you're not making any sense--I have a history of doing exactly what you claim that I don't do.

Your cognitive dissonance both amuses and amazes me.

Well, what happens is someone, like yourself, stubbornly clings to the notion that they are spelling something correctly in the face of a ridiculous amount of evidence to the contrary.


For example, let's take "wrong way"

Now, "wrong way" is clearly two words, "wrong" and "way". If I were to type them as "wrongway", it would be wrong.

Yes, even if I didn't realize it was a typo. And yes, even if I didn't believe it to be or want it to be a typo.

It is a typo because that is the incorrect means of writing "wrong way". There is a space between "wrong" and "way" because they are two separate words.

Now, if you take away "wrong way" and add "each other", the same argument holds true.

Interesting, you equated 'typo' and 'spelling error.' They are not synonymous, and you can check your precious dictionary if you disagree.

If it were INTENTIONAL on my part (read: not accidental), then it wouldn't be a typo and at worst, it would simply be a spelling error.

How funny that someone who doesn't even know what 'typo' means is trying to educate me on the meaning of words.

P.S. Don't give me circular logic. "Wrong way" doesn't become incorrect because you say so. It would become incorrect if it weren't common usage, though. In fact, that's what you've been doing repeatedly, engaging in argumentum ad nauseam (go look that up--I know it's a big term, but you can learn it).

What I've been doing "repeatedly" is trying to drill into your head that "eachother" is two words, not one. This is a logical argument, backed up by the English language and nothing you say will change that.

The only reason this is continuing is because rather than slink away, you insist upon grasping at something, anything, everything, that I say in response to try and cover up your screw up.

Are you ready to admit defeat yet? Or are you going to continue this game that you have no hope of winning.


I think it's fair to tell you...I love debating, especially if I'm right. :) You really don't have a snowball's chance in Hell with this. I'm bnth loving pwning you, and laughing at how you are trying to pin your problems on me.

I mean, practically every other post is you trying to project your issues and faults on to me. When you aren't being owned that is.

Are you really not going to give up?

I need to add this because I know you'll give a certain moronic response and that requires that I spell it out for you.

I have had my typos pointed out to me before. I have always acknowledged them before when pointed out to me, EVEN IN THAT POST!

So here's your logic:
cookie_retard: "I know that you have a history of acknowledging typos when they're pointed out to you (including in the post that we're talking about), but for no apparent reason whatsoever, I think this is an exception to what you apparently do IN EVERY OTHER CASE IN EXISTENCE."

It was a typo. It happens to everyone.

I said that in an earlier post. I realize that not much penetrates that thick layer of self-serving smugness wrapped ever so tightly around your brain, but perhaps you'll be so kind as to reread that post until those words sink in.

I'm not saying you don't make typos. I'm saying that "eachother" is a typo. It is NOT a word. Until it is recognized as a part of the English language, it will NOT be a word.

As I said in my other reply, you don't seem to know what the word 'typo' actually means. Seriously, go look it up if you STILL think that it's a synonym for 'spelling error.'

Christ, should I even bother with someone who has such a poor vocabulary trying to educate me on vocabulary?

I wonder why you're so persistent when it comes to proving your point on any given topic, as opposed to, say, just leaving the matter alone and moving on, regardless of whether you were right or wrong?

No wait, I remember why: troll.
