Come back when you can spell three-letter words....
You and your erroneous opinions are dismissed.
P.S. lol OMG “Learnt” lol
Dumbass

Editado por Nickel7Dime: 10/12/2018 5:24:44 PMHey buddy, did you know a question doesnt always have to have a question mark? Oh wait, we already established that you didnt. Lol. I wasnt the one to claim to be some master of the english language, that was you. And yet it was you who was proven wrong. Also is there a problem with the word learnt? You know the past tense of learn. It was the correct use of the word, so not sure what you find so funny?
-
Lol I didn’t say a question required a question mark, I said THAT specific question did....
-
Editado por Nickel7Dime: 10/12/2018 5:32:41 PMAnd yet it was formatted exactly as many indirect questions are formatted, which do not use a question mark. So no, that type of question does not in anyway require a question mark. This has been proven to you, which is why you were forced to fall bak on your opinion about the meaning of what was written. It follows the rules that you claim to know so well, and claim that it failed to follow, and once that was established, you had nothing left but interpretation. Also what was wrong with my use of the word learnt, the past tense of the word learn? From what i see it was used correctly. "Or have you forgotten questions end in question marks?" https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/249122764/0/0/1 that was you buddy, until you realized that you were wrong. Nice try though.
-
You’re confused. Your original statement did not require a question mark, it was a statement. I never said it needed a question mark. “Bak”? Seriously...lol I didn’t comment on proper or improper usage of “learnt”. I commented on the usage....period.
-
You literally just said in your previous reply that, that specific question needed a question mark. And since this has all been about one sentence, i can only presume that, that is what you are referring to. And by the way, are you now going to attempt to argue that you have more than just your opinion to go on as to why it would be a statement instead of a question? Because throughout all of this, that is all you have been left with. Am i wrong? Also i would hope you learnt something, because you most certainly did not demonstrate that you knew much throughout this.
-
And again, placing the word “why” in a sentence does NOT make it a question. Placing “why people” in a sentence does not make it a question. The last statement is not a question.
-
In what way? I have already proven that you can place why in the middle of a sentence and it would still be a question, the rule is that the question word must come before or replace the subject, which is precisely what i did. In fact i even gave you examples with basically the same format and same kind of wording as what i said, which you then just promptly dismissed, falling back on "it isnt a question because i dont feel that it was meant to be a question". Why dont you come back when you actually have some kind of proof? You know something more than your feelings or what you think the meaning behind my words was. Having to rely on your interpretation of someone else's words, does not typically make for a very solid foundation to an argument.
-
Lol I didn’t say you couldn’t put why in the middle of a sentence and it still be a question, I said that it doesn’t automatically make it one. Four right angles in a four-sided shape CAN be a square, but it doesn’t have to be. A sentence containing the word “why” can be a question, but it isn’t always. In your case, it is not. You want examples...here you go, Dottie. “Can someone tell me why people complain in forums?” “I was wondering why you came to the forums to complain.” And here is an example of using “why people” in a sentence that is not a question. “There is absolutely no reason why people who can’t spell “wit” should try to engage in a battle requiring such.”

Editado por Nickel7Dime: 10/12/2018 6:43:06 PMActually those first two are most definitely questions, if plainly read with no bias. They demand a response, as any question does. You however have chosen not to read them in such a way and instead stuck your own bias onto them. Maybe next time try actually reading rather than jumping to conclusions about what you think a person means. There isnt always writing between the lines. And again your example is one that is meant to answer itself, and it is setup as a rhetorical question, which my question was not setup as. What i wrote was not in anyway rhetorical.
-
Dumbass, those first two ARE examples of indirect questions and I gave them as such.
-
And the second one is very similar to the format of what i wrote however i stated i dont understand. Same format different wording.
-
The wording is what makes it a statement. ‘I was wondering why...’ leads the the person being spoken to into a conversation about why. Your statement was not about inquiring why, it was about dismissing their view. You weren’t trying to question, you were trying to dictate.
-
Still waiting on that rule. Oh wait, you cant find one. What a surprise. Once again, nothing but opinion.
-
Here you go, dumbass. https://www.quora.com/Why-is-I-know-what-you-did-an-indirect-question Here endeth the lesson.
-
That doesnt really apply to what i said, seeing as i had "i dont understand", basically the opposite of knowing something and so the opposite of the question you presented. Did you just throw in some nonsense hoping i wouldnt actually read it and just take it as proof?
-
It absolutely does. You’re just too dim-W-I-T-t-e-d to understand. You didn’t have “I don’t understand”. Those are direct quotes, using them means it is verbatim. You said ‘I just don’t see why...’ and ‘Not sure why...’ In the context used, neither is an indirect question asking for explanation, they are statements.
-
That is just a difference in use of words, but they mean the same thing. Saying i am not sure why, and i dont understand why, are basically the same thing, they mean the same thing at the very least. Both clearly demonstrate that there is something that someone is either unsure about or does not know.
-
You can’t find one rule that makes your statement anything but... W....I....T
-
Funny, i gave a pretty good list, at least from a grammatical stand point. There really isnt any written rules about opinions though.
-
Lol you edited the question to which I was referring by adding a question mark, BUT you missed another in the post. You CORRECTED the question “Man, I am so sorry, how could I have been so foolish as to argue with such unequivocal intelligence?” That is the question that needed a question mark, dotard. Before you edited, it was a period. Now, the one you still missed—— “What was I thinking.” That should be a question mark. You can’t spell “wit”, certainly don’t expect you to have any....
-
Oh I see how it is, you have realize how idiotic the actual conversation was, and realized you had no actual leg to stand on in regards to what you originally went out to say, and now you are just attacking small details in replies to try and prove some kind of point? It is rather funny how quickly you devolved from your original high and mighty statements. This just keeps getting more and more sad, and those straws you are trying so hard to grasp just keep slipping more and more.
-
Lol No, you claimed to be giving me lessons. I showed that you NEED the lessons, not I. You can’t spell “wit”, you don’t know the definition of the word “hypocrisy”, you don’t know when or where to use a question mark versus a period, and you don’t know the difference between a statement and a question, be it direct or indirect.... Sit down, bus driver.
-
Editado por Nickel7Dime: 10/12/2018 6:38:27 PMFunny, i said that what i wrote was a question, and sure enough it is formatted like one. I said a question doesnt have to have a period in certain cases, and once again, i was correct and what i wrote was worded correctly. This really is just getting even sadder, which i didnt think possible. So it seems i most certainly do know what a question is, also my personal definition of hypocrisy was pretty close to the actual thing, yours on the other hand was just nonsense.
-
It is not formatted like one at all. Sadly, you don’t realize it. You think that putting why in the middle of a statement makes it an indirect question, but you are not asking for anything—-directly or indirectly. You didn’t ask why in any way, shape, form, or fashion. You said you ‘didn’t know why’. That is not an indirect question, it is a statement. Matter of fact, your statement is more an answer to the question “Why do people complain in forums?” Your statement does not inquire that, directly or indirectly.
-
Again, left with only your opinion. This is getting beyond sad now. The fact of the matter is all you are left with your opinion that i had no intention of actually asking something. Or are you going to attempt to argue otherwise?
