You wouldn't know the first thing about it. Miss "weak hypothesis."
Find the thread.
Find the thread.
You find it. You know very well this is precisely what you asserted.
Miss "race is a social construct".
Not quite what I said - but it's not a category that can be biologically determined, either.

Exactly what you said. You even linked to some nutcase leftwing blog stating the same thing to "prove" it. It is a category that is biologically determined, every day, in laboratories all over the world.
Miss "music is not based on harmonic relations but medieval modes."
Not what I said.
Exactly what you said.

But that thread exists too, on WHS. Go and reread it.
You reread it. You're the one disputing.
I'm not sure you know how to make any other sort.
It's always been accepted as an alternative. It's existed since "input" was first coined. Since then, the meanings of the two spellings have subtly diverged, largely thanks to the establishment of information technology, and the predominance of the US over the Europeans in science.
Miss "to snipe derives from the bird of the same name."
Just as I thought. You either don't know how to read a dictionary, which is quite hard to credit; or, doing you more justice, you're hoping that no one else knows how to read one, and you're trying to deceive everybody that this "extract" says what you claimed it said: that to snipe derives from the bird. Obviously, it says no such thing.

Miss "there's no such word as 'imput'"
Surely a cognitive relativist wouldn't make such a dogmatic statement!

To clarify: the spelling imput certainly exists. It may by now be accepted as an alternative, but it has its origins in ignorance of the original spelling input.

That's easy. You asked on another board for a link to the OED entry in support of this assertion, which I don't think anyone else had questioned, and I posted:
I can't post a link - you have to log in yourself. Try your library card number.
I quote the relevant extracts:
snipe, v.
Etymology: < snipe n. 1.
1. trans. To shoot or fire at (men, etc.), one at a time, usu. from cover and at long range; to pick off (a person) in this manner. Also fig.
Under snipe, n. we find:
1. One or other of the limicoline birds of the genus Gallinago (formerly included in the Linnæan genus Scolopax), characterized by having a long straight bill, and by frequenting marshy places; esp. G. cœlestis or media, the common English species.
But I don't think anyone else here is really interested in your obsession with me. Why don't you start a new thread?
