[QUOTE="RobGMN, post: 8905484, member: 683408"] 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. You reference the expert, but then say the expert is wrong. Reconcile the dichotomy. [ATTACH type="full" width="658px"]67563[/ATTACH] 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. You just contradicted your self-created rule that "[I]Verbatim you will include EVERY SINGLE WORD FROM THE ORIGINAL."[/I] How can you claim that's a verbatim quote, if it doesn't[I] "include EVERY SINGLE WORD FROM THE ORIGINAL"?[/I] That is definitley NOT [I]"EVERY SINGLE WORD FROM THE ORIGINAL"[/I] as you claim it must be. You're so wrapped up believing you are right, you end up proving yourself wrong. Pretty funny. 1) See above where you contradict your own false belief. 2) Explain how Merriam Webster is wrong, but YOU are right: [I]verbatim: -[B] [/B]in the [URL='https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/exact#h2']exact[/URL] words [B]: [/B]word for word 3) [/I]Explain how the Oxford English Dictionary got it wrong, but YOU got it right. [I]verbatim - in exactly the same words as were used originally 4) [/I]Tell us how the Cambridge dictionary is wrong, but YOU are right. [I]verbatim - in a way that uses [URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/exactly']exactly[/URL] the same words as were [URL='https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/originally']originally[/URL] used[/I] 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. You very clearly just stated above that you are wrong. Bipolar, or schizophrenic, maybe? [I]"Verbatim you will include EVERY SINGLE WORD FROM THE ORIGINAL." -Thxone "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[/I] 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? [/QUOTE]
