Now can you "quitted" this forum? Your grammar is atrocious.
English
-
Quitted is actually correct grammar
-
No it's not, the correct thing would be "I'm happy I quit"
-
Yes it is, quitted and quit are interchangeable
-
Editado por haywire: 11/22/2015 4:50:53 AMActual no look it up quitted can only be used to refer to a physical place, not to discontinue an act. It is a word, but with a slightly different connotation
-
No it doesn't have to refer to a physical place. According to Merriam Webster it can be a verb just as much as quit can. Quitted and quit mean the same thing, the only difference is how often each is used.
-
Yes, both are verbs. But the exact definitions vary slightly. Quit can refer to discontinuing an action or departing from, while quitted has a connotation specifically to the latter. Like for example, whenever you hear the word rationalization, the immediate idea is that someone is providing a basis to make themselves feel better for doing something that isn't actually altruistic, but It's actual definition is just "to provide rationale"
-
All of that is true but it only proves my point further, because isn't OP just "departing from Destiny" as well as "discontinuing his use of Destiny" at the same time?
-
If you read my post, quitted can only be used to describe departed from and no, technically it is improper to say he is departing destiny even though everyone says things like that as destiny is not a physical place.
-
Depart from doesn't have to refer to a physical place, you can depart from custom, depart from faith, depart from the others, depart from life, etc. This is actually getting pretty interesting, delving into the world of subtleties that exist in the English language.

Editado por haywire: 11/22/2015 5:23:21 AMOk well Here's the full definition with an example [quote][to depart from; leave (a place or person): They quitted the city for the seashore every summer. [/quote] And destiny isn't a place or a person, it's a game
-
The archaic definition of depart from is literally "to quit," and there are various other definitions I found that don't even refer to leaving a place (such as to deviate), so what I've found overall is that depart from is interpreted in many ways.
-
I know but the definition of quitted is (past tense) to depart from (a person or place). So yes even though "departed" in and of itself doesn't necessitate a place, the definition adds the parenthetical clarification that it must be from a person or place
-
The definition I found refers to just departing from a noun, not a specific place or location, and destiny is a noun
-
I'm using the Cambridge english dictionary since the word itself originated in England. It says person or place only
-
I guess it's up to interpretation, I'm looking at a Merriam Webster dictionary
-
I just figured if we're talking about a relatively archaic word then we should define it in relation to its origin
-
Good point. I'm out of stuff to say on the topic, I'm not a big English guy (I'm an engineer), but that was really an interesting conversation. Thanks!

Editado por haywire: 11/22/2015 6:58:29 AMHey what do you know I'm studying to be an engineer too. And yeah I think this argument has come to a draw. Thanks to you too
-
Editado por Mystic: 11/22/2015 7:19:39 AMI'm an aerospace engineer at Lockheed Martin, I love it Good luck on your studies!
-
Editado por haywire: 11/22/2015 5:23:54 AMSo yes depart from can refer to other things but not in this case
-
Why are we even arguing this I don't even care that much about it
-
Can't lie though. The actual intelligence in the argument you two are having is quite refreshing. I'd say you both win.
-
What are they teaching kids in elementary school these days? No it's not.
