The Truth (As I see it)

Woah, that was like that all along!

 

Also, there's no such thing as an 'original language', you ignoramus.

 

Call me crazy but I think Smuelissimo called you a dick.

 

Man, you crazy.

I meant the language as it existed before someone decided to retro-fit a system of numbers and spellings to engineer some kind of mathematical relationship between certain words. But since you're not actually interested in discussing this, who cares...

 

Let me guess, that was your original meaning all along?

 

Well... yes.

(My Ackbar sense is tingling. Is this a trap?)

 

So what you're saying is: The mathematical coherence of the language couldn't possibly be true of "the language as it existed before someone decided to retro-fit a system of numbers and spellings to engineer some kind of mathematical relationship between certain words".

Wow, I guess there's no arguing with that.

 

Quite English!

 

Welcome to Tautology Club, which is a club about tautology, therefore it is called Tautology Club.

 

It's a tautology that that's not a tautology.

 

Okay then.

 

I'm glad we got that one straightened out!

 

Yeah, and to think - some people say that these threads are boring to read and never achieve anything!

 

You showed them! You showed them good!

 

Gosh, when you put it like that, Smuel, it almost seems as though I agree with you!

 

Filthy Brit vs Decrepit Old Man!

Place your bets now!

 

Bahaha, I like this.

How old do you think I am, WS, and what gives you that impression?

 

Partly it's the beard; but mainly it's just the general old man vibe you got going: not knowing what such-and-such is, on the internets, presumably because it's foreign to your ancient culture and you quickly forget about it once you've heard about it due to the idiosyncratic memory-loss of the elderly!
