Yet another grammar hill you choose to die on, over and over.

Nope.

And then you try to sub the word "iconic", and use THAT one incorrectly.
It's like you get some weird thrill from showing us all how poor your education was.

Mhmm

"how to use the word ironic or what" - Thxone
A VERBATIM quote.

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong. This is NOT a verbatim quote. I think you are doing this on purpose now.
This is verbatim:
"It's a fact that you have no clue how to use the word ironic or what it is to quote something verbatim." ThxOne

What's IRONIC is that you make claims I don't know the meanings of words, when you very clearly show that YOU are the one who doesn't understand words.

Iconic.

The IRONY being that it is not expected for a person to comment with authority on something they have demonstrated they know nothing about.

Iconic.

A shining example:
"Verbatim you will include EVERY SINGLE WORD FROM THE ORIGINAL." -Thxone

FACT!

"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" - Thxone

Pure contradiction of your own words.

That is every word in that sentence. Verbatim.

Ironic.

Iconic.

You won't find that claim and I never made that claim. So what does that tell you? It tells you that you are confused and have got something wrong.

I quoted it directly from your post, you dimwit.

It is the WHOLE sentence. The fact that it is the WHOLE sentence is what makes it VERBATIM.

Show me were ANY definition of verbatim indicates "sentence-for-sentence" is required for a quote to be verbatim.

I have shown YOU a definition and explanation that shows it could be SINGLE word.

Walk the walk, and show a proof of your claim.

You won't and I never made that claim.
It is clear that you are confused and or that you think a quote and a verbatim quote are the same thing.

Oh? Then tell us who the moron is that just posted this nonsense: "It is the WHOLE sentence. The fact that it is the WHOLE sentence is what makes it VERBATIM."

I will guarantee it was you, unless it is not Michael making the posts I am quoting.

Yet you fail to comprehend what that means.

Ironic that you post the definition, but don't understand the definition.

"Word-for-word" is NOT "sentence-for-sentence".

Do you know the difference between a word, and a sentence?

I have PROVED you wrong. Your ego is preventing you from learning.

Still waiting for you to cite a source tgat says a quote must be an entire sentence, paragraph, chapter, or even book.

Every definition out there says "word for word".
Go ahead and show that proof.

If all the person said was one word and you quote that one word you have a verbatim quote. It is not as hard as you are forcing it to be for yourself.

I correct yet again.
Is this 15 times since yesterday?

Again: To be a quote, it must be verbatim. That's the rule.

A quote does not have to be every single word from the source. That is the rule.

Combine those rules, and you get: A partial sentence can be a quote, as long as no words are altered, removed, or have their positions changed.

THIS is a verbatim quote, by the very definition of a quote: "quote that one word you have a verbatim" -ThxOne

You can fight it all you want, but neither your opinions, nor your feelings, nor your beliefs, change the rules of our language.

Stop failing with such confidence. It's giving me douche chills for you.

Still waiting? This will be the 3rd post of this legal definition I have posted for you.

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.


How does a person get through to a brick wall person such as yourself? I am going to write a sentence. Then I am going to quote it. You tell me if when I quote it I use every word from the original sentence.

RobGMN is a secretary man who fetches coffee for a boss he will never become.

"RobGMN is a secretary man who fetches coffee for a boss."

Did I used every word from the first sentence? The answer is NO. Therefore NOT VERBATIM.

Again: To be a quote, it must be verbatim. That's the rule.

If this is what you are basing your argument on let it go. This is wrong and looks like what you do when you talk to people. Cherry pick words, make up the meaning and call if facts. Whatever this is or you think it means is literally a contradiction to your next sentence below.

A quote does not have to be every single word from the source. That is the rule.

Combine those rules, and you get: A partial sentence can be a quote, as long as no words are altered, removed, or have their positions changed.

You can't combine those "rules" as they contradict themselves. I thought you were smar... No, you think you are smarter than this. You are not.

THIS is a verbatim quote, by the very definition of a quote: "quote that one word you have a verbatim" -ThxOne

It is not a verbatim quote. The more you lie to yourself does not make this lie truth.

You can fight it all you want, but neither your opinions, nor your feelings, nor your beliefs, change the rules of our language.

The sad part is you will fight and fight and never know how dead wrong you are on this because you have convinced yourself that you are perfect and are never wrong.

Stop failing with such confidence. It's giving me douche chills for you.

Practice what you preach. Go ask professionals for help with the word Ironic and Verbatim. Tell them you are desperately needing to win this argument against a Trump voter. Hell, you have outright ignored the LEGAL DEFINITION of verbatim twice.

Here is another one Rob.

Definition & meaning​

A verbatim transcript is a written record that captures spoken words exactly as they were said, without any alterations or summaries. This type of transcript is used to document testimonies, interviews, or any spoken communication in a precise manner. The term "verbatim" indicates that the text corresponds word for word to the original speech, ensuring accuracy and fidelity to the speaker's intent.


Gee, why put the word verbatim in front of quote or transcript? Is it to tell the reader what kind of quote or transcript it is? It might just be.

Palantir...

"A palantír is a fictional crystal ball from J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings," used for communication and seeing distant events. These indestructible stones were created by the Elves and played significant roles in the story, particularly in the hands of characters like Sauron and Saruman."

"A major theme of palantír usage is that while the stones show real objects or events, those using the stones had to "possess great strength of will and of mind" to direct the stone's gaze to its full capability. The stones were an unreliable guide to action, since what was not shown could be more important than what was selectively presented."
