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.

Why would I even need to?

1.) Because you are wrong.
2.) Because you have yet to prove you aren't wrong.
3.) Because I made my challenge first.
4.) I'm still not your drug buddy.

The sad part is that you don't even realize that this comment is circular logic.

"You need to present this evidence because you are wrong. You are wrong because you won't present this evidence."

I also like the "you have yet to prove you aren't wrong," which is called an "argument from ignorance" (look that up--it's an actual term). It's not true anyway, but if it were, you'd still be committing an atrocious fallacy.

Dude, you're the one claiming that 'eachother' is a word. As the one making the claim, the burden of proof falls to you. Until you can show proof of your claim, your statements can be dismissed.

Actually, this entire thing started with people claiming that it wasn't a word. I never brought it up until someone commented to me saying that it was incorrect.

Even if the burden were on me, I've _already met it_. Please read through the threads. I get sick of people saying this and me having to repeat it because they're too lazy to read the comments either here or in the other post in which I defended it.

By the way, even if I refused, it wouldn't make me incorrect. Claiming that someone is incorrect on the basis that they wont' defend themselves is called an "argument from ignorance," and that's a real term, not one I'm using as a insult.

'Kay, I did read your "proof", which was that you came up with a certain number of Google hits for your word.

Someone else pointed out that Google is hardly the be-all, end-all of proof, citing that words like 'teh' came up with tons of hits and we can all agree that 'teh' is not a real word (well, those of us who are not completely batshit can, anyway).

Google is not a reliable guide to the English language. An actual dictionary is. No one can find 'eachother' in any English dictionary.

Conclusion?

YOU LOSE, SIR. GOOD DAY.

The sad part is that you don't even realize that this comment is circular logic.

The sad part is that you are still wrong, and have done nothing to detract from that glaring truth.

I am waiting, Slappy, rooting for you (almost). I want you to come the realization for yourself. It's got to be somewhere in that skull of yours. Dig deep!

You can do it!
