1. putting people on igno is childish
2. also, i always wonder what's in the missing posts
3. understood what i meant is the slippery slope (into oblivion) for any language

All I can to that is...okay. I have a degree in English too, but I've also been around a lot of people who have used colloquialisms, slang, shorthand, and far worse to get their meanings across, and I learned not to get too hung up on that. It's one thing in a classroom or in a professional setting, but not much of a big deal on an internet message board...IMO. It tends to make you look petty at best, or a grammar cop at worst, so I avoid that.

You wouldn't call Washington D.C. your hometown if you weren't actually from there.

Nope. I just used a made-up word in a colloquial sense and you kind of lost it.

You're the only person I've ever seen call Earth the Federation's homeworld.

It originally wasn't a big deal until this thread.

 

[oberth]

It originally wasn't a big deal until this thread.

... because you didn't talk to anybody about it

 

[C.E. Evans]

... because you didn't talk to anybody about it

Actually, I've been using the term for years in countless posts. People knew I was talking about Earth, which was always the main point. You're really the only one that got upset about it.

i wasn't even the first to engage you about that nonsense (this thread only)

The Federation doesn't have a "homeworld".

... but then, i don't expect you to keep track

Um, I did keep track, but he didn't lose his cool and keep coming at me like you did, so this one's yours.

Is this really that important to you?

are you by any chance a trumper? cause you have the same attitude towards reality as he does

Now, you're trolling.

 

[oberth]

Now, you're trolling.

call a mod if you think so

i'll take it like a man - to the face - would be my first infraction

 

[oberth]

Now, you're trolling.

i'm not trolling - your are talking [insert william barr quote here]

 

[Tuskin38]

Maybe this should be taken to DMs...
It has nothing to do with the topic now, not even remotely.

I'm bowing out of the argument because it really isn't worth it, it's just a word.

i'm all for moving it to the off-topic nirvana

 

[Jack Wolfe]

Oh, good grief...

 

[dupersuper]

Nice. So Earth can be called the Federation's homeworld after all, since that was where it originated from. Thanx.

It originated from four or five founding worlds coming together...

... btw, i'd never call an admiral a troll

Sounds like typical Star Trek badmiral behavior to me...

Um, I did keep track, but he didn't lose his cool and keep coming at me like you did

Just because some one responds to your posts doesn't mean they're "loosing their cool".

Evans & oberth, cut the crap or warnings will follow.

I was already done with this conversation because of how silly & pointless it was.
