It's refreshing to hear you acknowledge that you're unable to consider the possibility of yourself being wrong.


Saves me the time, I guess. Either way, I'm done here. History has shown that you'll take even the most trivial of points to 10+ pages just to avoid conceding to simple reason.

Alma's going on ignore from here on out.

Sure, only if you teach the big bang theory (or any other relevant explanation) as mythology as well.

???

You're doing the exact same thing that you're accusing me of. The only difference is, you haven't provided anything to support your claim.

History has shown me acknowledging inaccuracies, errors, ignorance, etc. throughout every single thread, so you can put that card away. It wont work here. That's just some pitiful final attempt to avoid admittance. There is not a single 10+ page thread where I haven't admitted to being wrong or ignorant on something.

I mean, our country is The United States OF America, not United States America. The "of" denotes that we are part of the American continent. To accept the fact that the U.S. picked a general broad name to describe their citizens, yet still believe that it isn't indicative of not having an identity is quite silly.



This page describes the history of the term "American" and how other countries view and refer to it. As I've been stating all of the along, non American countries will simply say some form of "America", but Latin Americans often make differentiations as they are also Americans.

I'll give into your provocation. I made sure that my two options were actually different given the similarity of the two. Once again, your failure to understand is your own personal problem, but I'll assist you.

"Not understanding my argument" is specific to my argument, while "not comprehending the concept" is referring to the bigger picture. In other words, it's possible to comprehend the concept but failed to understand my argument potentially due to a failure on my explanation. This is why Eske said that she didn't misunderstand me, she just didn't agree.

My options, which were obviously over your understanding, were attacking the notion that it's possible to understand the concept and disagree with my argument. Her prior response was stating that it was possible.

Edit: Who are you fooling? You're not "ignoring" me. You responded to statements that weren't even quoted by anyone else. Besides, if you're going to ignore me, why even respond to me?

Yeah, seriously.

It is nice. Wow. Like a whole new forum.

Uh, yes I am.

What I responded to was quoted by Eske.


Because sometimes, when I feel like being abusive to myself, I open up your posts and read them. But for the most part, they automatically made to be skipped by. Basically, it comes down to what's convenient for me at the time. If you say something I feel like responding to in the 30-40 characters that I can see, I'll open it up. Most times, I get to skip right by though.

He said something about role reversal, but by that point he was eyeing up my bull, too, and I thought it best to leave.

I don't know, maybe this indoor petting zoo wasn't such a great idea after all.

As I'm enjoying my time in the P.I, I noticed how everyone is speaking "Tagalish". As a result, I;m asking everyone who don't see the term "American" as not unique, do you feel the same way about the terminology of "Speaking American"?

I read the relevant part of the thread, and also have no idea what he's asking.

The US doesn't have a language.

The US has a language only spoken in the U.S.



You're making the argument that the term "America" is a matter of convenience of less words, yet you would rather ADD a word saying, "American English", instead of simply saying "American". It's not like people wont know what you're talking about since the term "American" is primarily reserved for the US. So what's the difference?

So, it's ok to call the people "American", the food "American", the music "American", but not the language? Why do you have to further distinguish the language but nothing else?

The answer is because we don't speak "American" as "America" isn't a country, we speak an American dialect of the English language. This holds true for everything else we call "American", but it's just that we only recognize it with language. America isn't a country, so it's silly to label a language that isn't unique to two entire American continents as a spoken language. Under the same logic, that applies to everything else we call "American".

This is why this supports the argument of the lack of identity, because not only do we not have an official language, we don't have a name that uniquely identifies our citizens.

To be fair, you would be right about the term "American" not being related to having an identity IF we actually had one. Given the fact that one can easily make the argument of the lack of an identity, then not having an unique name for your citizens completely supports that argument.

Are you back to being a massive ******? Not every country has a unique language. Many of them have dialects of different languages. This is not a semantic difference, it's a linguistic one. Please stick to subjects where you're at least subjectively wrong.

I believe "English, ************, do you speak it?" is the correct colloquialism for American English.

I'm not really a linguistic scholar, persay.
