What the hell are the rest of you talking about? 🤨
Smugness = "contentedly confident of one's ability."
Vanity = "excessive pride in one's appearance."

Well, I prefer my posts and sentence structure to be organized so I don't pass myself off as a half-witted dolt.
Then again, everyone has their preferences.

What are you talking about? I explained that I like to build my sentence structures organized. It looks cleaner and generally people accept good syntax and proper use of diction rather than:
"lolz, im' mich3al, r u lukin 4 cyborseckz?111?1111!!!1 roflsz.>wssonfurwen90w35ht8g"
No, it was not a shot at you. Why would you assume it WAS a shot at you?

Don't apply that to what you said, AC. You're misinterpreting. I'm not denying I chose words consciously. Anyone chooses their words when typing. Sorry to point this out, AC, but this includes you.
No, no, no. You're the one misinterpreting.
You specifically told me that you choose "Perpetually" over "Continually" because it looks better. That's a pretty pathetic reason for choosing a word, and it suggests you are trying harder to use that word rather than using it without thinking.

That speaks for itself. Moving on.
Trying hard doesn't equate to anything being difficult, I'm not sure where you got that idea from. It just implies there's more effort being applied, not that the task is difficult in and of itself.
Tsk tsk.

Wrong. I use perpetual because I think it looks better than continuously. This doesn't mean I'm trying hard and it sure as hell doesn't prove your point. There is barely any effort into replacing one word for another.
I said it suggests that you are trying to look smart by using a word that doesn't actually add anything to your posts, just because it "looks better".
I say that because...well...it does. Don't play your little "Try to debate" game with me boy.

It doesn't, at all. You are just doing that quirky little thing you do here and only here, to OTFers. I am not one, therefore it doesn't work.

W-w-w-w-w-wrong!

No, it does not suggest that. You just assumed that. Your assumption means nothing, because you're wrong.

Pop goes the AC.
Definition of Hard: ""difficult to deal with, manage, control, overcome, or understand: a hard problem."
Definition of Difficult: "a trouble or struggle."
If something is difficult, it is hard. If something is hard, it is difficult. If something is difficult, it is not easy or moderate. If something is easy or moderate, it is not difficult.
I said it suggests that you are trying to look smart by using a word that doesn't actually add anything to your posts, just because it "looks better".
How is that trying to look smart? See, If that was the case, I would have said:
"I use X over Y because it looks smarter."
Instead, I said:
"I use X over Y because it looks better."
To be honest, I would've thought you would not have found it difficult to distinguish the two.
I think perpetual is simply a BETTER word to use. I don't like continuously. There's nothing much else to it, like you're trying to generate.
I say that because...well...it does. Don't play your little "Try to debate" game with me boy.
Hahaha, I haven't been playing that game with you because so far I have not tried.
It doesn't, at all. You are just doing that quirky little thing you do here and only here, to OTFers. I am not one, therefore it doesn't work.-AC
Wow, I shouldn't even have to point out the logical fallacy there. Hahaha.

That's a Hard surface compared to a Hard task. You're comparing the wrong animals, Pittman.
Definition of Hard once again for those who seemingly can't read:
"difficult to do or accomplish; fatiguing; troublesome: a hard task."

His point remains. Your inept use of the dictionary doesn't work, because you were taking the meaning of 'hard' out of context. 'Trying hard' doesn't mean 'trying difficult'.
Trying difficult?
What the ... ?
You need to disperse. HE took it out of context, not me. He made a comparison using two totally unparalleled principals.
And no, trying hard means it takes some difficulty. That is the point I made out if you read my previous posts instead of being purposely ignorant.

We must be using different dictionaries.
Smugness Exhibiting or feeling great or offensive satisfaction with oneself or with one's situation; self-righteously complacent.
Not to mention vanity doesn't necessarily have to do with appearance only. hmm

Yeah, we are.
You used the free dictionary.
I went to dictionary dot com and Wikipedia.

Actually I didn't, nice try though.
And therefore smugness is synonymous with vanity, so they do go hand in hand. doped

Nice try?
Odd, this looks exactly the same as your last post.

Weird, huh?
No, they don't go hand in hand. Just because you think smugness is synonymous with vanity, doesn't make it so. Good look at the synonyms of each definition, Silver_tears.
By the way, even if they did, they still wouldn't go hand in hand.
