So I understand it's altogether allowable to utilize a thesaurus in the forums, but I don't apperceive whether you, the community believe it's equitable, by cause of my confession to employing an onomasticon to an individual and they sumarily refused to engage me in discourse. Ruminations?

Is There An Unwritten

Against Using A Thesaurus?

 

FIXED!

Please know that different words, while more or less synonymous in definition, are nonetheless used in different circumstances and contexts. Also, all words that are "synonymous" still usually deviate slightly in precise meaning.

is there an unwritten law about quoting one's own self and then laughing about how funny they think their comment was?

Um... sort of. It's like laughing at your own jokes when nobody else is laughing.

That depends on whether the shades of red and green that you use are directly opposite each other on the color wheel. If they are directly opposite then combining them should (at least in theory) make grey.
