War decs should cost 10m additional isk for each outgoing war

Nope, you have multiple people in different countries where English is used everyday by the majority of the population telling you that the context I used is correct.

As I’ve said before, your English is very very good; but you lack the familiarity with the language as used outside of Academia to pick up on nuance and to some extent context.

But you can confirm that defend is not a verb, yes?

That is the basis of your objection.

OP, I think your thread is going to be locked. Apology that we don’t understand the language we speak and how to use it correctly.

Again, you don’t understand what an appeal to popularity is. You are dodging the point by saying that since more people agree with you, then you can dodge my point. Which you don’t.

Dafuck ?

Any thread Anderson participates in has a high probability of being locked…

Oh I do, I just think that you’re attempting to use fallacies to cover up your lack of real world experience with English, as used by people who’ve spoken it their entire lives.

You literally don’t. At no point you even try to address my point, instead going to “we think that”, which is the definition of “appeal to popularity”.

You did not even once answer to my point, dodging it . So you are the one trying to cover his mistakes with fallacies.

again : dafuck ? How is that any relevant ?

Wrong

“How is any of that relevant?” would be correct

You’ll need to speak more accurately, I cannot understand you otherwise.

Sorry.

So, dafuck ?

I guess you admit it’s just blabbering of no relevant.

Do you mean “What the ■■■■”?

Well, the ■■■■, as you so eloquently put it, is that you have stated that Jonah cannot use Defend as a verb within a sentence.

I ask you where the definition you are using for “Defend” comes from, what you think it means, and if it is not a verb, what is it?

I don’t understand that. Do you mean “Its just irrelevant blabbering?”

Please try to be accurate.

He has and he isn’t appealing to popularity. If the position was that “we all believe he is right, so therefore he is right” was the position, then that would be an appeal to popularity.

However, the premise is that, because we understand him, that is evidence that your claim that it cannot be used in that context, is wrong.

You are wrong, without appealing to popularity, just by limiting ourselves to the evidence above.

Then why do you make this suggestion in the first place?

You know very well that this won’t stop them, and do nothing besides making them spend a bit more of their ISK.

All in all you just want to annoy a group of players despite being very much aware that this won’t actually change anything noticeable for the game.

And now we are back on track with the topic at hand. However, it’s only going to take Anderson about 5 seconds to derail it again…

No, I mean dafuck. Otherwise I would have used that term, it’s not a mistake.

I used the two you gave, and showed that the later can’t be used for the context of structure, therefore the former is the only one usable. So any use of the later is a polysemy fallacy.

You understanding him does not invalidate my point. You claiming that since you understand him, then he is right, is an appeal to popularity.

Well its not english, so Im afraid I dont understand it.

Unless its an attempt to bypass the profanity filter. Which is not allowed I believe.

This is not a pair of sentences in english, Im afraid.

I hope you dont submit papers with this level of inaccuracy.

No Im sure you dont.
