[Locked] Somene we know Made it to FARK

Except you're talking about the actual action. You're not talking about the nail or screw, or the purpose. Just the action.




Two things that have very similar purpose with broad/vague definitions are hard to distinguish.

Oh, but I was talking about purpose.


See? Purpose.




So is that a yes?

Definitions of forum:

public meeting or assembly for open discussion

Definitions of blog:

read, write, or edit a shared on-line journal
web log: a shared on-line journal where people can post diary entries about their personal experiences and hobbies; "postings on a blog are usually in chronological order"

WHY ARE THERE TWO DIFFERENT WORDS AND DEFINITIONS FOR WHAT I CAN ONLY ASSUME ARE THE SAME EXACT THING? I AM SO CONFUSED!

Nigga, that's racist.

Yeah but racism and compliments are the same thing as they both are made up of words so it's ok.

Ah, for some reason I did a mind fuck on the nail screw bit. I think it's my migraine.

Anyways, that's not what I'm suggesting. I'm suggesting that you can use a flathead screwdriver to screw in both a flathead screw and phillips head screw.




I have stated what I meant.

Well, this is where your logic errs. Even if something is similar to another by 90% in usage and/or purpose, if it is referred to by a different noun that is not a synonym, it has non-negligible differences. As such, it would be incorrect to refer to one as the other, or vice-versa.

what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovible object?

Except something is vague/broad means that if something is similar in 90% of usage, then even if it differs by a small portion it will still fall into the category in at least a partial amount, often as a type of it.

If you want to see an example of this. Let's deal with men. What types of men are there?

Rugged? Well there are a lot of adjectives you could use to describe rugged. And as long as a guy fits a good deal of them, he will be considered a rugged guy.

You could have an outdoorsy type of guy. And again, lot of adjectives, and if he falls into a certain amount of them he will be considered outdoorsy.

Now say if rugged and outdoorsy have a lot of adjectives crossover? Well if a guy fits a good portion of them, he will be considered rugged and outdoorsy, though possibly with one way leading to the other.

You can tell if something has a broad definition, because they use determinants like typical and generally and other such words to describe it.

You will also notice that if you DO try to get it set, you'll eliminate a good deal of things that fall under it that you would indeed consider to be under that category. Which would mean that you'll end up with dozens of categories trying to fit everything together.

So instead, they keep the broad definition, for blogs, and then go into super specific ones for the types of it.

however, in this case, because they keep the broad definitions, a lot of crossover can occur between other similar things, threads in forums, and social networks, because they too are serving a similar purpose with equally broad definitions.

Please stop pretending to be intelligent. You lost this argument before it even began. Genetics suck, brah.

Retarded Fox says BUUUUUUUUUUUH

I am saying it is incorrect for you to refer to forum threads as blogs.

I'm saying their definitions are so vague and broad that you can't go "They're completely not" because there is too much crossover between them and trying to force them separate would mean isolating several things that would have originally fallen into the definition and that even you would have considered a part of it.

I'm saying that you're dumb.

That does not belie my point.

Actually, it does. For it to be incorrect, it would have to be unable to fit in any way.
