    Still, so much projection. You’re just so angry at being publicly shamed for not knowing the basics of linguistics, even basic terminology such as “prescriptive” and “descriptive”. This means that more than likely, you’re not highly educated. That’s okay, because you’re online and you can teach yourself, but it shows just on what level you’re discussing this.

    Because you were wrong and because everyone pointed it out, you got this tantrum. You were in error, but can never admit that publicly. So you’ll dig deeper and more desperate to try and save yourself from this spectacular fail, as you so eloquently put it.

    “Defend it so vigorously”? Defend what? How languages work? Again, they don’t care for my OPINION. I don’t make the rules for the languages. Not prescriptive nor descriptive. Nothing I think will make you be less in error.

    You’re just not man enough to say “oh I didn’t understand the terms you were using as I don’t understand language-a-logics at all, thanks for teaching me.”

    No, instead you at first started arguing as if you understood the subject, DESPERATELY googling things to support you. I’m not Googling shit because I know what I’m talking about. Maybe next time, you’ll THINK before you press “reply” or “post” to comments with words which you don’t actually understand the meaning of?

      I love how you’re the one going on about emotions and I’m, apparently, also the one projecting. Its like you don’t understand the meaning of the word.

      Disagreeing with you isn’t a tantrum.

      I’m man enough to know the definition of antisemitism and what it includes. One of those things is:

      Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis

      If you reject that definition then thats your choice to make but to pretend the only reason someone would think differently is due to a lack of basic linguistic knowledge is just bizzare and shows that maybe you should have googled some stuff before writing.

        You projected all your emotions with words like “desperate” and “spectacular fail”. Because you know it’s you who failed. Now you’re just desperately trying to pretend the spectacular fail didn’t happen.

        To pretend that you even saw that bit there before I pointed it out to you is ridiculous. And yes, that contention is ridiculous and I personally reject it, because comparisons can be drawn in between anything. Elon Musk and Jesus? Sure thing. Not a flattering comparison for Musk, but that can definitely be made. But we won’t even get into the actual politics of this, which you weren’t into.

        Netanyahu is basically trying to push the agenda that anyone criticising his warcrimes is antisemitic. I would like you to understand how antisemitic pushing that is. Do you now understand how much the global Jewish population is suffering for Netanyahu’s nazism? (That’s a rhetoric question, I don’t think you’ve the capacity.)

        We are talking about the colloquial use of the word “nazi”. You don’t understand basic linguistics which again, is different from the basics of language (this has to be specified because you thought lacking the basics of linguistics would mean one can’t speak the language, not understanding the difference between the terms), and you made an error. That error being corrected by at least half a dozen people each with a half a dozen upvotes at least on them, made you angry. You don’t like admitting that you’re wrong. You’re not trying to convince me now, you know I see through your bullshit. You’re trying to convince yourself of it.

          “Spectacular fail” isn’t an emotion now is it?

          Explain how someone can read without knowing the basics of grammar and the structure of the language they’re trying to read.

          On what basis do you reject the EHRC definition of antisemitism?

          Be a man and explain your positions.

            The shame you feel from having spectacularly failed certainly is, yes.

            Explain how someone can read without knowing the basics of grammar and the structure of the language they’re trying to read.

            So now you’re honestly trying to argue that “language” and “linguistics” are synonyms, because you’re INCAPABLE of admitting to having been wrong?

            Perhaps you can explain how people can manage to drive cars without understanding the basics of mechanical engineering? You can drive a car without understanding even what Newtons measure or even how to weld a basic seam or without understanding how to make petrol out of crude oil. HOW? Perhaps because driving a car and building one are two different things?

            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”.

            Linguistics is the STUDY OF LANGUAGE. Would you call anyone who’s ever had a few emotions to be a studier of emotions? Because if so, then all humans everywhere practice psychology. I’m sure you know how silly that sounds, don’t you?

            On what basis do you reject the EHRC definition of antisemitism?

            You still don’t understand what “prescriptive” means. Are you just honestly incapable of understanding it, or are you just so intellectually lazy you haven’t read about it for the few minutes it might take for even someone like you to learn it?

              Jesus christ you have some real problems.

              You still don’t understand what “prescriptive” means

              I do but even if I didn’t, their definition includes all uses of the word, due to their being no caveat excluding them.

                  It’s all uses of it. I know you want to but you can’t just declare it not included because you feel like it and you just really wanna call Jewish people nazis.

                    You’re trying to get out of admitting that you publicly humiliated yourself with your own stupidity by trying to imply I’m an antisemite. Do you know what you’ve not asked a single time during this childish tantrum you’ve been having? My ethnicity or religion.

                    Israelis are nazis. “Hard n” or no. Btw, hilarious that you keep using the phrase “hard N”. oh, like… “the N-word”? “Yeah man, the N word with the HARD N. You know… NAZI!”

                    I’m pretty sure that’s not the N-word bro.

                    ##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. ;)

                    Take your own advice. THINK.

          Again with the ad populums. I suppose its the best you’ve got but still, have some intellectual integrity.

          How can someone read without knowledge of basic grammar and the structure of the language they’re reading?

          OK, so now we’re getting somewhere. You think you know better than the European equality and rights commission. More people agree with that definition that your “not a hard N” argument. By your own “logic” wouldn’t that make you wrong?

          .>That error being corrected by at least half a dozen people each with a half a dozen upvotes at least on them, made you angry. You don’t like admitting that you’re wrong.

          Sorry, what was that you were saying about projection?
