There, now it meets pit standards.

I am the only emperor of or in this world

I’ll have a double scoop of vanilla and mocha almond fudge please.
MY ADVICE IS SUPERIOOOOOOOOOOORRR! WE MUST KUNGFU FIGHT!
If I was the emperor of the world, I would have a team of my best audio technicians build the perfect sound system for my Hovering Fortress of Doom. Then I would have them all killed to insure no one had a system that rivaled mine.
I’m glad that I could facilitate this reconciliation.

He denied not only that he used it wrongly, but that there was any difference.
[/QUOTE]
Sometimes, I wonder if we’re reading the same thread. I don’t see him either using it wrongly or denying that there’s a difference between “infer” and “imply.” Honestly, this is one message board where I think everybody knows the difference between those two words.

Is this new, or did I miss a memo?

I already apologized for the left side of your “or”. As for the right side, he cited a dubious usage note that trivializes the difference, saying that “the claimed distinction has probably existed chiefly in the pronouncements of usage guides” and that infer has been used to mean imply “since the 16th century by speakers and writers of unquestioned ability and eminence”. And then he thanked me for playing which, as we all know, is a dismissive taunt universally signifying disagreement. I supplied two contrary usage notes, one from his own source and one from a university. I’ve seen no admission from him of his error, let alone any gratitude for being set right.

Bah! These petty concerns are beneath me! I leave them in the hands of my minions. They dare not fail me!
[QUOTE=Gozu]
Lastly and most of all. I am sorry my comments upset you. I did not mean to be a dick to someone trying to help me. The bottom like is you’re right and I’m wrong. I hope you won’t hold it against me.

Way to fuck up a good pitting.

Note to minions:
Be careful about this, assuming what the emperor wants can lead to the pit or worse.
In this case probably worse.
I thought the Emperor wanted a Big Mac. I seem to remember alot of mooing and orbiting going on .

If he had come back and said, thanks, but I really want a front panel aux input, and when I looked closely this one requires an adapter we would not be here right now. Instead, I was told my search was deficient. :rolleyes:
[/QUOTE]
Well, I (and others) thought it was pretty clear from the OP that the add-on unit wasn’t going to be acceptable, but even granting you that possible ambiguity, his response to you clarified: no, I don’t want what you suggested because it’s an add-on unit and requires extra installation. You then proceeded to respond like a complete asshole: what’s the big deal? just drop that requirement that you just stated, do the extra installation, and quit your crying!
Your response not only ignored the originally implied requirement, but it also ignored and went so far as to reject the clarified requirement, and was condescending on top of it all. You’re playing the martyr over here like he attacked you (was the word “deficient” hard on your self-esteem or what?) when all he did was clarify his requirements in his second post.
But you did get the infer/imply usage correct, which is more than most people can say. Congratulations.
And I thought everyone had kissed and made up. Darn.

Kissed and made up? I wasn’t even here! I can’t go away for three days and have a pit thread half- (ok, maybe quarter-) dedicated to me and not respond. so … eat my shorts. or moo, or whatever.
