Forum Maniac United States 13,109 Posts | I said it came from the compact edition because that is where it came from. I don't have the complete edition. As for "blunt," that is a word used to define "brusque." It is always helpful to know what those words mean too. You know, it surprises me that someone as smart as you are would take direction and correction from someone that you obviously consider both dumber than you and beneath you.
Tymbrimi: sksadvntr: Tymbrimi: sksadvntr: Oh, let me ask you a question...would you call yourself 'stupid' for screwing up the definition of brusque? Do try not to be more of ass than normal, 'k? Oh, sorry. I forgot you aren't capable of change. Oxford Dictionary of Current English: Brusque; adj. abrupt or offhand Webster's New Twentieth Century Unabridged Dictionary -- Don't try to figure us out, we're bipolar. Just hope that we get distracted by a fire truck and don't notice your country. - Livestock, on Something Awful. The definition you used from the Oxford dictionary is the compact edition, not the complete edition. I didn't say it was the complete edition. Since you apparently have one, how about posting its definition for 'brusque' for all to see. sksadvntr: As for Webster's, try their thesaurus and, by the way, look up the definition of blunt. The word in question was 'brusque', not 'blunt'. Try to keep up here. sksadvntr: You might actually learn something if you use complete dictionaries instead of the redacted versions. Wow, I've been eyeing that complete Oxford for some time. It's so kind of you to offer to buy it for me. sksadvntr: As for the insults....tsk tsk you keep sinking lower. And yet, I'm still above you. Funny ol' thing, life. How ya doin' on those other corrections to my purportedly-incorrect post? Don't try to figure us out, we're bipolar. Just hope that we get distracted by a fire truck and don't notice your country. - Livestock, on Something Awful. -- Learn from history or be doomed to repeat it, repeat it, repeat it ...." In the words of Pogo: "We have met the enemy and he is us!" -- Walt Kelly The true measure of freedom of speech comes when we allow that which we do not like to exist. Life is funny how it balances its cruelties; giving with one hand, taking with the other. | |

As for "blunt," that is a word used to define "brusque." It is always helpful to know what those words mean too. Oh, I didn't realise you hadn't yet learned how to use a dictionary. I'll leave looking up the defintion of 'blunt' as a special surprise for when you've acquired some skill in that area. sksadvntr: You know, it surprises me that someone as smart as you are would take direction and correction from someone that you obviously consider both dumber than you and beneath you. I haven't taken either from you; that would be your extreme ego at play again. sksadvntr: At any rate, I am tired of playing with you. You are boring me. Good night. Translation: I'm about to throw up from all the booze I've been downing and I've just realised that this attempt to distract from legitmate questions isn't working. I'd better run away before anyone else notices.

You did forget that education does not always make a wise person. Also trying to insult others in lieu of the ability to converse in an intelligent manner. I have found that those that insult others and have to have the last word are of the lowest form. If not able to admit when they are wrong, or to validate that they are right, then they should just back off. Sometimes, leaving a debate, is the best form of action. Some cannot accept that they are not the ultimate being that they believe themselves to be. It makes them feel better to try to twist, attack, and belittle others to attempt to make themselves look better. It has always had the opposite reaction from onlookers. It is usually due to their low self esteem. -- | |
