Here, I'll explain it as we move on.

Oh, please do. Let's see this. By the way, when I say dodged; I mean you dodged the fact (Because that's what it is) that you confused word with phrase. "Trying hard" implies no difficulty.

Your point? If I CHOOSE to eat vegetables instead of meat and I've been doing it for a while, It doesn't become hard to choose veggies. It becomes PROTOCOL. Just because I choose X over Y doesn't mean it's a concious decision. I've adapted to doing it because I do this all the time. It's now effortless for me.

The nature of your choice is what makes it conscious, you choose one word over the other because of aesthetics, because of how it looks, that's conscious. That's not a subconscious choice.

Seraphim, I said you were trying hard because you appeared to be, your reasons didn't add up. If you genuinely do it for looks, fine, I'm just asking why, because by the NATURE of the choice, there must be a reason.

Why get snappy? I'm asking you why you prefer the word. You prefer whatever you desire, you're not wrong to do so, I'm just asking why. Simply and civilly.

No, f*ck that. It isn't pointless.

So prove it. You choose one over the other for a reason, "I prefer it.". I'm asking you why, and you can't tell me. So therefore it is pointless, not reasonless...pointless. It adds nothing that "Continuously" doesn't add.

Did you miss the part where I said if that's genuinely the case, fine, but it's still senseless? I'm not saying you're wrong, that was about the other part of this debate. Not why you use words, you have the say on that. I'm just asking why.

"For some stupid reason". Need I go on?

I shall. The point is, in this case, it is a conscious choice. Not a wrong one, I'm not saying he's wrong. A conscious one.

No, I'm asking him to tell me why he feels it does, and he has. So now I shan't ask anymore. I was refining my questioning in pursuit of an answer, I see the one he gave first is the one he will always give, so it's fine.

I'd say this is a debate. An argument, rather.

Oh, please do. Let's see this. By the way, when I say dodged; I mean you dodged the fact (Because that's what it is) that you confused word with phrase. "Trying hard" implies no difficulty.

The nature of your choice is what makes it conscious, you choose one word over the other because of aesthetics, because of how it looks, that's conscious. That's not a subconscious choice.

What the shit? Yes it is, you're arguing irrelevant principal now. Aesthetics or no, it is still a subconscious choice. I've become USED to using "Perpetual" in place of "Continuously". I've heard it MORE COMMONLY than Continuously growing up. Our scenarios are parallel except you prefer Continuously, whereas I prefer perpetual.

The very fact that you think I'm trying to look smart by using a selection of words can be fitted into the likes of Logical Fallacy itself. Why?

One could say you're trying to look smart by using "Continuously" over "perpetual". Because my scenario can be applied for what you accuse me for, that logic is open to be applied to all other scenarios.

This is, of course, IF we go by your logic.

Seraphim, I said you were trying hard because you appeared to be, your reasons didn't add up. If you genuinely do it for looks, fine, I'm just asking why, because by the NATURE of the choice, there must be a reason.

I am simply more used to using that word than I am for using Continuously. Just like you think Continuously is more common, I happen to think perpetual is more common. I've heard it more throughout my time line. Simple.

I pray I don't have to break you down further, but when do we ever get what we want?

Irrelevant semantics. Moving on.

Why get snappy? I'm asking you why you prefer the word. You prefer whatever you desire, you're not wrong to do so, I'm just asking why. Simply and civilly.

So prove it. You choose one over the other for a reason, "I prefer it.". I'm asking you why, and you can't tell me. So therefore it is pointless, not reasonless...pointless. It adds nothing that "Continuously" doesn't add.

It simply isn't! I use a word in place of another. I've said this too many times now and I dislike repeating myself PERPETUALLY: I prefer to use that word because I've heard it more throughout my life and it's a personal preference.

It can't be applied at all. The context and "tone" in which I use that word is entirely different to where you use "Perpetually.". "This gets perpetually amazing." is a line you use often.

I'm damn sure you believed you were right, but the fact is, you weren't. To anyone worth their salt who listens to and studies music, your claim was ridiculous, lazy and filled with more fumbles than a virgin's underwear removing party. You couldn't back up what you said save for repeating your belief.

Yes, what's your point? "Hard", is not "Trying hard.". One's a word, one's a phrase. The two have entirely different meanings.

I wasn't trying to compare those two.

You said I was trying hard and I said I didn't find it difficult. At all.

"It's difficult to climb this hill."

"It's hard to climb this hill."

^ Applies.

Our scenarios are not parallel, I use continuous subconsciously where as you choose if for a stupid and very superficial reason. Not wrong, but still conscious.

It's mutual, AC. I use perpetual subconsciously.

I choose it for a superficial reason? Do I have to explain this AGAIN? Should I cite a post? Maybe repeat myself?

I did specifically say that I take your word for it.

You didn't quite make this clear at first, now did you?

It can't be applied at all. The context and "tone" in which I use that word is entirely different to where you use "Perpetually.". "This gets perpetually amazing." is a line you use often. The very nature of that line, to me, suggests that you were going out of your way to use the word. If you aren't, then fine.

"This gets extensively amazing", "This gets continuously amazing" ... What is the difference? It's a WORD, AC. You made a big fuss about the words I choose to use and you made an unsupported assumption.

I could make the same assumption directed towards you and pass it off as "proving my point", now couldn't I?

I wouldn't do that though. That's a mistake.

It's not, by any means.

It sure is.

Then there you go. That's how it is. I wasn't saying you were wrong there, I just wasn't done with my questioning. I refined my questions and the answers you gave, despite me finding them the same as before, I am now satisfied with.

What bothered me is how you went on saying you have proved your point when you basically proved zero. You didn't prove I was trying hard, which is what you attempted to pass off earlier down the road in this debate.

Still worthy of a one line reply. Ignoring it altogether would have granted that ham-handed segue a bit more merit.

I'm a smartass. I wouldn't dare ignore it.

Please read my posts before quoting the whole thing and replying as you go along. If you do this you'll notice I said I take your word for it.

Heh, me? I am just making sure. Let's call it an insurance policy, shall we?

Preference does not equate to purpose. You prefer something, doesn't mean there's a point in doing so.

Unfortunately, there is a point in doing so. Are you saying there is no purpose or point in using one word over the other? There is, and preference just happens to be tightly knit with the other two factors. Badabing.

The flaw was the original car comment, if you love irrelevancy.

You didn't understand my post, if you love ignorance.

You're misunderstanding what "opinion" means. You having a right to do something does not make it purposeful to do so.

No, not really. MY OPINION is that using perpetual over continuous is just better. I've found that the word is used more commonly and the purpose of using it is to utilize it in sentences to say something or make a point. It's an extremely simple concept, and it's obvious I didn't misunderstand the meaning of opinion.

And I swear that's a quote from previous posts.

No, I'm obligated to repeat myself in a few instances.

Next time, instead of seeing my post and simply hitting quote, read it first.

I got down > up, AC. It's not a matter of cutting corners.

Oh hardly. It proves your desperation if that is genuinely how you plan to claim I have lost any credibility, and even more hilarious is the fact that you feel you are the one who can make that claim.

Wow, it sure proves a lot. You openly contradicting yourself MUST prove my desperation.

Save the needless semantics for a rainy day.

What was the debate? The Hard/Trying Hard thing, which you have no legs to stand on. So now we're discussing something else.

No, read my first few posts of how you tried to pass off an unsupported assumption as "Proving a point"

Credibility lost.

Yikes, who is the copycat now?

Except this time it's true, because it proves how much attention you AREN'T paying.

Hahaha. AC was right; I really need to spend less time in the OTF.

Christ, what ignorance.

I can tell this is the OTF; both the point and the proof are shite.

The difference between the 'hard' in 'trying hard', and the 'hard' that is a synonym of 'difficult' is not that one is a word, one is a phrase. That is about as valid as Stephen Hawking. (Inva...never mind).

One is an adjective, one is an adverb.

The adjective means 'difficult'. It is used to modify nouns: 'This task is hard'.

The adverb means 'to a great extent'. It is used to modify verbs: 'I tried hard to complete this task'. The extent does not imply difficulty; though it also does not exclude it.

Why the **** is there a thread in existence with this name?

srug

TO MANY QUOTES!!!!

Seraphim, in short:

I accused you of something then set out trying to see if my accusations were true. The fact is, you denied that you were trying hard because you thought it meant difficult, and then got all cocky because you proved a word not a phrase, you're yet to admit you were wrong about something objective.

Was I wrong about your reason for choosing the word? Sure, but I had the decency to admit it and see if I was wrong or not, by asking.

"I'm a smartass.".

Hmm.

Was I wrong about your reason for choosing the word? Sure, but I had the decency to admit it and see if I was wrong or not, by asking.

That's the problem I had; You didn't want to admit you were wrong, you just reverted to ask me, effectively trying to cover it. There is NOT shame in being wrong, AC. You're only human, just like me. Hell, I was wrong in this instance trying to compare "trying hard" to "difficulty". Although "hard" and "difficulty" can be compared on a parallel level, a phrase and a word cannot be compared. (Well, some can, but not these two.)

"I'm a smartass.".

I didn't want to because I wasn't sure I was, hence my asking. My refined questioning was there to get an answer, but seeing as it was the same one, I needed to go no further.

I'm not shamed in being wrong, because it's not a subject in which I can prove I'm right, it's a discussion regarding someone else. It's very easy to be wrong about people, no matter who you are. For all I know, you could be just giving me that explanation because you don't want to tell the real one, but given that it's your word against mine, regarding something YOU said, I have to take your word for it. It's not like we were debating a definitive and objective subject and you proved me wrong, eg: The music debacle.
