You didn't speak to the proof you posted here that shows you are wrong in your beliefs and assumptions as to what a verbatim quote is.

You gave an example that shows a verbatim quote can indeed be a part of an original oratory or written expression, in contradiction to your belief that a verbatim quote must include every single word the person said or wrote.

Instead of wasting time typing your useless ad hominem, why don't you support your argument, and explain why the proof you offer contradicts your previously beliefs/opinions/assumptions/feelings.

For posterity, we'll do this again.

"A verbatim quote IS word for word exactly how it was originally written. ALL WORDS." -Thxone

And then you post this to "teach" us we are all wrong, and you are right.
An example that has a partial sentence as a verbatim quote.
An example that proves wrong your belief that a verbatim quote must be ALL WORDS originally written.

View attachment 65436

As I said, you proved yourself wrong again.

1. is showing the word verbatim used as an adverb.
2. is showing the word verbatim used as an adjective.

Are you seriously claiming #1 and #2 are examples of quotes? Please say yes.

Interesting. Going to use the same defense that Trump successfully used.

Arrested judge turns tables on Trump with bold claim citing president's case

Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan is moving to have the federal charges against her thrown out — and she's citing the very ruling that gave President Donald Trump a presumption of immunity.Dugan, who was arrested earlier this year after Trump administration officials alleged she helped Eduardo...

www.rawstory.com

The attorneys focused on the Supreme Court's holding that “In dividing official from unofficial conduct, courts may not inquire into the President’s motives.” Because Dugan's instructions within her courtroom constituted official conduct, they concluded, “Judge Dugan therefore has both immunity from conviction and immunity from prosecution.”

Nonsense, and you know it.
But an easy way to not have to prove your words.

And you didn't speak to how you "know" these Medicare recipients are illegal immigrants, when having an SSN and being a citizen/LPR/etc, is a federal requirement for Medicare and Medicaid.

Are they using someone else's SSN to apply and receive? Fake ID to pretend they are a person already eligible for MA/Mcre? Creating their own SSN and somehow getting it to pass the verification test?

HOW do you know they are illegal immigrants, and have you reported anything to anyone?

Not allowed to report them. They have been told to vote Democrat.

@RobGMN I have posed the question to an English Professor as to what a Verbatim quote is. If they concur with me will you then admit I am right and you are you?

insurrection - an organized and usually violent act of revolt or rebellion against an established government or governing authority of a nation-state or other political entity

What government authority, nation state, or political entity were they attacking?

They set up an autonomous zone in the City of Seattle - take a guess.

You should pay closer attention to what is happenign in the world.
Trump imposed the tariff, thinking that China would come crying to him.

Instead, China said "**** off" and imposed retaliatory tariffs.
Then, Trump agreed to drop our tariffs if they dropped theirs.
Show me the "billions" of dollars in import tariffs that the US citizens paid, for all those items that were never shipped here, or are still on boats.
Cargo movement at the port of LA is down 35%.
Do you think people are paying tariffs on goods that aren't coming here?

Did you already forget the same thing happened on his previous failed attempt?
Try to keep up with the times.

And maybe, explain to us how increasing taxes is a big win for Trump.

LOL...
You just explained why China finally caved. The large tariffs caused people to stop buying from China. This slowed down the ports and ended up putting China in a panic because the USA is a big importer for them. China was then forced to agree to a tariff agreement.

Do you know how much of our products were not allowed to be sold in China? well, now it is. They also settled to stay around 10% on both sides. Sounds like a fair deal to me.

Looky there. It appears I have been paying close attention. Looks like you were paying close attention also but just refuse to admit that Trumps tactics worked to make China come to a fair tariff deal.

That's interesting.
So despite 400 cases being brought forth and argued by individuals since 1982, the 8th Circuit decides individuals can't bring cases.

I'd bet a quarter it goes to Supreme Court. Will be interesting to see what they decide, and why.

And I hope it gets overturned. Nevertheless, the point is it seems "all these cases" are being decided on political grounds rather then legal ones.

Good luck with that.
Rob won't even admit he was wrong about dual output mono amps are internally bridged.

Yeah, I know... it's more of a hypothetical question. Rob is tooooooo far left and is not allowed to change his mind.

They are partial sentience enclosed within quotation marks.
I'll give you one big hint about quotes, and see if you can figure out the rest yourself.

QUOTE MARKS ARE USED TO INDICATE QUOTATIONS AND DIRECT SPEECH

Partial Quotes – Academic Writing I

Why Use Partial Quotes? Sometimes an author may use a single word or phrase in a sentence in a way that is unique or creative…

wisc.pb.unizin.org

Sometimes an author may use a single word or phrase in a sentence in a way that is unique or creative and thus difficult to paraphrase. In this situation, using a partial quotation (or partial quote) is probably more appropriate than directly quoting the entire sentence.
Partial quotations a good option when you only want to include only a few specific exact words from a text. This allows you to integrate and utilize important words or short phrases from another author’s text without using an excessive amount of direct quotations in your writing.

I really wish you could comprehend what you read and not just post it as a victory because it has the trigger words you are looking for.

"Any quote you use must BE verbatim." San Diego blah blah blah. MUST BE VERBATIM.... Not IS verbatim. It is telling you how to quote it. Damn man, were you hit by a truck or something????

Wow, you're a hard case. Did I not provide a good 1/2 dozen links to stories about illegals receiving medicare/aid, including 1 from Congress, 1 from NPR and 1 from the state of Colorado? This is just your way of refusing to acknowledge illegals are receiving medicare/aid. Good job Rob.

1. Unless he give us the professor's name, there is no reason to trust any answer. He still won't provide the names of the "three" doctors who told him bones do not have nerves in them. He wants us to trust his claim.
Nope.
2. Two wires touching each other are not "bridged", no matter how many times your or Thxone claim they are. "Bridging" two wires requires a third wire/conductive material that is connected to the first two, while the first two remain physically separated.

Tell us if you can see the common denominator between the pictures of CONNECTED wires, and the common denominator between BRIDGED wires or connections.

I'll give a you a helping hint. The word "bridge" is used to describe the second set of pictures for a very specific reason:
A bridge circuit is a topology of electrical circuitry in which two circuit branches (usually in parallel with each other) are bridged by a third branch .

Now, can you tell me what part of each of the six pictures might be the "bridge"?

Cool, so get the hell out of here. You just said unless YOU accept the facts they are useless. Take your bullshit somewhere else. Nobody here needs to validate anything with you, needs your approval for anything or your negative attitude towards anything posted.

I mean look at this!! He will deny this!!!

"Bridging two wires together, also known as splicing or connecting, involves securely joining the ends of two wires so they can conduct electricity together. There are several methods for doing this, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, including soldering, crimping, and using wire nuts."
