It's becasue unlike you, I don't consider my opinions to be facts simply becasue I have them.
If my opinion was that humans could jump up and hover 3 feet off the ground for a minute, it would make a shit bit of difference to the FACT that we cannot.

The stuff we are discussing is not subject to how we feel, believe, opine, about it.
None of that crap make a difference to the reality of it.

You want to talk "feelings"? Go join a hug circle.
The FACT that Trump has been shown to be a ****** and felon does not give one flying F about whether it is believed, or not. It's a reality.

It's really weird how a man of your age still thinks his feelings matter when it comes to facts.
How childish.

So you just assume that everyone in this thread literally wants to read your "facts" anytime they say something? I wasn't aware this was Rob's personal fact thread. Is it?

You do though don't you? Mr. Liquor aging expert now as well? Please, tell us what we all can find on our own using Google if we wanted to but that you will find and force feed us regardless. How goes the aging process? :O

"Expert"? You think you need to be an "expert" to know that liquors can be aged to alter the flavor?
Damn. Should we assume you think liquor comes from a hidden spring in the Adirondacks, or that babies are delivered by storks?

WHY do you insist on making yourself look as uninformed as a child?

He Rob, what is a partial quote?

"He Rob"? And the Masters of The Mutitverse?

And?

I didn't say you could use it. You saw my name in an internet post and used it to try and dox me.

Holy F, you put SO much effort into making yourself look like a mentally challenged child.
It's not up to YOU to decide if someone can call you by your own name, no matter HOW much you cry to the moderators that it hurts your feelings.
Repeating here what you say here is not "doxxing you", you simpleton.

ANYTHING you post in this forum can be repeated in this forum.
Are you new?

I knew you would still claim to be right.

Did you post a link to her video of an INCORRECT example?
She confirms what I have been saying all along.

What was your purpose for sharing the video?

Iconic.

To you and anyone else in your trailer, MAYBE.

You need to get out an experience the world.

Oh so YOU have the basement yet claim I live in one. This is a 1953 mill house. There is only a crawl space under this house.

You live in a crawl space? That's gotta' be uncomfortable.
Your dad is not a nice guy, huh?

No, I want you to teach us. Since you think we are all inferior to you, help us out.

"He Rob"? And the Masters of The Mutitverse?

Short for Hey... moving on.

So you know what a partial quote is yet when you do it you want to claim it is verbatim. Interesting.

So it is safe to say that anything YOU post on the internet can be used here as well then... yes?

Did you post a link to her video of an INCORRECT example?
She confirms what I have been saying all along.

But of course she does cause otherwise you'd be wrong. Robbie is never wrong is he?

What was your purpose for sharing the video?

There a several examples of verbatim in there that apparently you missed. I love that you really think you are right here.

To you and anyone else in your trailer, MAYBE.

Iconic dig.

You need to get out an experience the world.

It seems you can't be helped.

Short for Hey... moving on.

Can't even admit you made a typing mistake?
Holy crap, you are pathetic.

So you know what a partial quote is yet when you do it you want to claim it is verbatim. Interesting.

"Claim"? No. It's a fact. Set in stone long before we were even born.
But I'm sure you know better than all the professional linguists in history. Becasue, what makes THEM more of an expert than YOU?

quote - repeat or copy out (a group of words from a text or speech), typically with an indication that one is not the original author or speaker

So it is safe to say that anything YOU post on the internet can be used here as well then... yes?

Hmmm, so you think finding something elsewehere on the internet and posting it here is the same as repeating something here that has been posted here.

Or is this just another act to make you appear as stupid as you possibly can?

So tell us all: DO YOU THINK FINDING SOMETHING ELSEWHERE ON THE INTERNET AND POSTING IT HERE IS THE SAME AS REPEATING SOMETHING HERE THAT HAS BEEN POSTED HERE?

But of course she does cause otherwise you'd be wrong. Robbie is never wrong is he?

I posted a screenshot of what she said.
Are you now going to argue she is wrong? Yes, or no?

Did you post the link to her video to support your false claim?
Sorry, but the video contradicts your claim.

There a several examples of verbatim in there that apparently you missed. I love that you really think you are right here.

And? She said very clearly that verbatim refers to a quote.
I gave you the actual definition of "quote".
Which part are you finding so confusing?

Hate to tell you, but arguing agianst something simnply for the sake of arguing agianst it (and having NO support for your argument) makes you look terribly unintelligent.

Why don't you just argue that a verb is a person, place, or thing? Or maybe that a poem must rhyme? Maybe that Shakespeare didn't use iambic pentameter?

Iconic dig.

Far from it. Only eight people viewing the thread.

Says the guy who lives in MN by choice. lol

From Ohio to Kentucky to Florida to NC, living in the homes of family members.
Quite the world traveler, lol

He's a DICK!

That's unfortunate.

Verbatim: A Comprehensive Guide to Its Legal Meaning and Applications

Definition & meaning​

The term verbatim refers to the act of quoting or citing text exactly as it appears in the original source. This means that every word is repeated without any alterations, ensuring that the meaning and context remain intact. Verbatim citations are essential in various fields, including academia and law, where accuracy and fidelity to the original text are crucial.


I ignored the rest of your blathering as you decided to just insult at the end. Above is a legal definition of verbatim. I am right, you are wrong and you can go **** eggs as far as I am concerned.

You literally post the definition that says "a group of words from a text or speech", and then go on to argue that it must be EVERY word from a text or speech.
An argument that you cannot substantiate in any way, AND that is contradicted by scholars and linguists the world over.

This is not sardonic, it is an actual question: Do you have some type of mental health issue that causes you to just fabricate shit in your head, and then declare it as proved fact?

"A direct quotation reproduces words verbatim from another work or from your own previously published work."

Quotations

A direct quotation reproduces words verbatim from another work or from your own previously published work.

apastyle.apa.org

This does NOT say that you reproduce the ENTIRE other work in your quote. What ******* idiot would think that you have to copy and paste the entire play Othello, in order to have quoted verbatim from it?

For **** sake, they even give an example that uses a partial sentence quoted from the original work: Effective teams can be difficult to describe because “high performance along one domain does not translate to high performance along another” (Ervin et al., 2018, p. 470).
Here is an example of how it is used in the legal world: "The term verbatim refers to the act of quoting or citing text exactly as it appears in the original source."
Here are two examples of how verbatim citations might be used:

• A lawyer quotes a witness's statement in a trial document: "I saw the defendant leave the scene at 10:00 PM."
• A researcher cites a legal statute in a paper: "According to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, every person who, under color of any statute..." (hypothetical example). https://legal-resources.uslegalforms.com/v/verbatim

Notice that the lawer doen't repeat the ENTIRE witness statement, but provides a VERBATIM quote of a relevant PORTION.

If "verbatim" means EVERY SINGLE WORD IN THE ORIGINAL like you claim, then HOW could a PASSAGE (PORTION of a written work) be VERBATIM?

Do you not see a pattern here? At all?
I'm genuinely flabbergasted by the amount of time and typing you put into showing us you do not understand the simplest concepts of the English language, and your unending argument that all the experts are wrong, but YOU are right.

Are you seriously arguing???????

One is a quote, the other definition, the legal definition is of a VERBATIM QUOTE. Please, go piss off somewhere. Jesus Christ you are dense. It's not complicated. There are different types of quotes. You seem to think they are all one.

I did no such thing. I see the problem though, you have thoroughly confused yourself.

You posted the definition of the word QUOTE. This definition...
1.
repeat or copy out (a group of words from a text or speech), typically with an indication that one is not the original author or speaker.

Are we still together? I also posted THAT definition for the word QUOTE so that we are on the same page. I then posted the LEGAL DEFINITION of the word VERBATIM. This legal definition...

Definition & meaning​

The term verbatim refers to the act of quoting or citing text exactly as it appears in the original source. This means that every word is repeated without any alterations, ensuring that the meaning and context remain intact. Verbatim citations are essential in various fields, including academia and law, where accuracy and fidelity to the original text are crucial.


Not a group of words such as is the definition of QUOTE but every word is repeated such as is VERBATIM.

I am tired of you not paying attention just so you can argue because your ego is bruised.

Let me quote that verbatim for you...

"I am tired of you not paying attention just so you can argue because your ego is bruised." - ThxOne

I did not "quote" it, it is a VERBATIM QUOTE.

To quote myself I would quote this...

A TON of text to show you are still just as lost as before.

The video reference you shared tells us that something is verbatim when it's a QUOTE.

The definition of a QUOTE very clearly indicates it does not have to include EVERY SINGLE WORD FROM THE ORIGINAL.

Here is VERBATIM QUOTE from Othello. Notice that I did not copy and past the ENTIRE PLAY:
"will I question Cassio" - Shakespeare
WHAT ******* IDIOT WOULD THINK YOU HAVE TO COPY AND PASTE THE ENTIRE PLAY OTHELLO, IN ORDER TO HAVE QUOTED VERBATIM FROM IT?

Seriously, go back to school.
Your lack of command of even the most basic concepts makes you look like a real dummy.
