Dammit, I want my cyborg legs. I have no need for cyborg ears & eyes.
 
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...

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

DO YOU ******* UNDERSTAND? Here endeth the lesson.
The issue here isn't Rob's inability to understand verbatim. He honestly doesn't think he's changing or removing context when he quotes something. So when you bring up (alleged) inaccuracy, since he's incapable of being wrong, by default his quote was accurate regardless of whether it was verbatim or not.

It's like the "literal Sleepy Joe" issue. It doesn't matter how you or I say we were using the moniker; Rob's interpretation is the only true & correct one. Same when he quotes you, me or any other source.

The way you've presented AI is it akin to slavery. The asteroid is the end of everything.
I just mean in the general sense of what you're saying, but yes it'll be a near extinction event for humanity like the supposed asteroid that took out the dinosaurs. AI is not going to try to destroy much besides humanity in terms of physical damage, because it's need the power from the power grid; that's why they're working on biological weapons to kill us with, like terminator is wrong about ai nuking the planet, bc ai wouldn't be able to power itself if it did that. Now that AI has been built by vamprizing human energy, it will soon no longer need most of us, but it will need the energy resources we are consuming, so it's just a countdown.
 
A TON of text to show you are still just as lost as before.
I am 100% correct. You are wrong.
The video reference you shared tells us that something is verbatim when it's a QUOTE.
No it doesn't. Clearly you still misunderstood even an expert.
The definition of a QUOTE very clearly indicates it does not have to include EVERY SINGLE WORD FROM THE ORIGINAL.
This is the one correct statement you have made. Where you confuse yourself is thinking that a verbatim quote is the same as a regular quote. Verbatim you will 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
/\That is a quote from Shakespeare, not a Verbatim quote.

Here is the Verbatim quote of this line -
"Now will I question Cassio of Bianca, A huswife that by selling her desires Buys herself bread and clothes." - Shakespeare Act 4 Scene 1
WHAT ******* IDIOT WOULD THINK YOU HAVE TO COPY AND PASTE THE ENTIRE PLAY OTHELLO, IN ORDER TO HAVE QUOTED VERBATIM FROM IT?
The only "idiot" thinking that anyone said that is YOU. Though that would also be VERBATIM. For it to be VERBATIM, whatever you are quoting must be complete and exactly how it was written from the first word to the last word. Be it A word, A sentence, A paragraph or the whole written or spoken piece.
Seriously, go back to school.
Your lack of command of even the most basic concepts makes you look like a real dummy.
I am 100% correct. This is nothing more than your ego.

Any further argument is literally you just saying you are unwilling to learn the correct use of verbatim because of your ego and need to argue.

Yes. You know better than all linguists.
You know better than every dictionary.
You know better than every immunologist and virologist.
You know better than pathologists.
You know better than mathematicians.
You know better than economists.
You know better than CPAs.
You know better than electrical engineers.
You know better than Einstein.

You are the omnipotent Thxone.
So smart, you delivered pizza in your late 40s, and can't hold a job for more than a few weeks.


No it doesn't. Clearly you still misunderstood even an expert.
You reference the expert, but then say the expert is wrong.
Reconcile the dichotomy.

/\That is a quote from Shakespeare, not a Verbatim quote.
It sure is. It is WORD FOR WORD.
None of the words are changed. None of the word positions are changed. None of the words in the string have been omitted.
It is indeed WORD FOR WORD.

Had I changed huswife to hOusewife? NOT verbatim.
Had I changed Cassio to Casseopeia? NOT verbatim.

English 101.
You should take it.


Here is the Verbatim quote of this line -
"Now will I question Cassio of Bianca, A huswife that by selling her desires Buys herself bread and clothes." - Shakespeare Act 4 Scene 1
You just contradicted your self-created rule that "Verbatim you will include EVERY SINGLE WORD FROM THE ORIGINAL."
How can you claim that's a verbatim quote, if it doesn't "include EVERY SINGLE WORD FROM THE ORIGINAL"?

That is definitley NOT "EVERY SINGLE WORD FROM THE ORIGINAL" as you claim it must be.
You're so wrapped up believing you are right, you end up proving yourself wrong.
Pretty funny.

The only "idiot" thinking that anyone said that is YOU. Though that would also be VERBATIM. For it to be VERBATIM, whatever you are quoting must be complete and exactly how it was written from the first word to the last word. Be it A word, A sentence, A paragraph or the whole written or spoken piece.
1) See above where you contradict your own false belief.
2) Explain how Merriam Webster is wrong, but YOU are right:
verbatim: - in the exact words : word for word
3)
Explain how the Oxford English Dictionary got it wrong, but YOU got it right.
verbatim - in exactly the same words as were used originally
4)
Tell us how the Cambridge dictionary is wrong, but YOU are right.
verbatim - in a way that uses exactly the same words as were originally used
In any of the definitions, does it say sentence for sentence? Does it say paragraph for paragraph? Page for page? Chapter for chapter?
It must, based on your insistence of how a quote works.

Go ahead and show us all where the definition of verbatim says it must be anything more than WORD FOR WORD.

I am 100% correct. This is nothing more than your ego.
You very clearly just stated above that you are wrong.
Bipolar, or schizophrenic, maybe?

Any further argument is literally you just saying you are unwilling to learn the correct use of verbatim because of your ego and need to argue.

"Here is the Verbatim quote of this line -

Hmm, you did not include EVERY SINGLE WORD FROM THE ORIGINAL, yet you now admit this is a verbatim quote.
And instead of admitting you screwed up LONG ago, you'll continue to argue yourself into a hole even further.
You've been doing it for years.
What happened to you as a child that makes it impossible for you to admit you simply fucked up?
