Illdelph gave me his view of why, but it's not sitting well with me PURELY because it doesn't add up. How do you simplify a very simple point and change the persons point without meaning to? He changed my points because he wanted to, because it aided him. I'm curious as to why people don't see a problem with it, curious. Nothing more. Hope this answers your question.
Whatever you say. 🙂

So? You still used it wrong first time around, which is what I referred to. That's the only point I ever made on the situation. Only an idiot notices incorrect spelling and refuses to alter it.
Incorrect. I never used it wrong first time round. You misinterpreted my application of it due to the multiple definitions of the word and i then had to spell out to you which one i was using. Yes only an idiot refuses to alter their spelling after the errors been pointed out. The difference is you never corrected. You changed it into another wrong spelling and then went on to smugly instruct me on how to use a word which isnt even in the english dictionary.

It was fine execution, I said what I meant. I can't be responsible for you interpreting it. You can lead a blind man to water but you can't make him drink it. You're also not responsible for him drinking poison water if the lake is contaminated should he DECIDE to drink it without asking. You chose to not ask what I meant, that's not my responsibility.
True enough.

Well thats one good thing out of this i suppose.
However as a commonly used english word and as an english speaker one would think you'd have at your fingertips as it were the multiple definitons of the word so that you can correctly interpret an application of it given the surrounding context. Oh well. 🙁 🙂

The definition I used was quite applicable in connection with our discussion. Anyone would be forgiven for believing that YOU believe I was owned. This isn't what you meant? Sorry for misinterpreting. I now know what you meant. Though you do believe it SEEMS to be the case, which I don't agree with.
On the spelling thing, I said 'Apparent'.

That's exactly what I did, ironically enough.

As is always the case on this particular forum, it becomes User A versus User B, rather than a debate over the initial point.
I'm not trying to win anything but if people continually post things to me that aren't true, I'm going to correct them.
I only came back asking for an explanation, stating no animosity or hate here. Just curiousity. I'm no responsible for people turning it into something it needn't be, though I'm not guilt free. I'll admit.

Can you say Kabbalah
There has been a tendency for non-Jewish books on Kabbalah published this century to use the spelling "Qabalah". Jewish publications are relatively uniform in preferring the spelling "Kabbalah".
No you just did not change your spelling ✅
but then you are an expert on the Kabbalah ❌
