that i the official definition, with my interpretation added.

Pho_Lover

yeah, you added your interpretation makes it not the official definition, it makes it your definition.

ok whatever, you are using a definition that is not official, but one you came up with, you will not let me do the same, if you were using the official definition, then like I just said, sports using a leather ball would not be sports, but you changed the definition, so now it is your own. I understand that the rules of this debate disallow using non-official definitions, so I will ask you to give me another official definition

Your definition was completely made up, "non brain muscle groups" are just nonsense. I will accept that you use a different definition than me, but I wont accept you attempting to force me to use a nonsensical, made-up definition.

ah yes, trig homework. I love trigonometry can you post some of the questions and I can help you. PLEASE!

Do you need glasses or something, in my definition I clearly said that since you said the definition I created was bad because it wasn't official, we can't use it, I accept this, but is has to apply to you as well, your interpretation is not official so it cannot be used.

crystal0192

no i will accept unofficial definitions (such as dictionary ones), but your one was so outlandish I needed a source.

crystal0192

Where did I say it has to be official again?

Galileo wanted to release a wooden ball and an iron ball from a height of 100 meters and measure the duration of their fall.
He found a plane with an incline of 12 degrees that he could climb until he could get to an altitude of 100m
How far should Galileo walk up the inclined plane?
Round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.

Dictionaries I consider official, but your definition is also outlandish and it is not backed by any official definition, instead, you changed an official definition to meet your interests, that doesn't work.

lol I literally just submitted that as my answer right as you said that, but I got the same thing, we were right

crystal0192

my definition is clear, and is simply a rephrased version of the official one. I rephrased it for simplicity and clarity.

Pho_Lover

anyways I don't think my math homework is relevant but I do wish we could hurry

crystal0192

of course im right

Rephrased means it has the same meaning, that does not.

Pho_Lover

oh nevermind rephrase means change the meaning, but my point stands, you completely changed the meaning of the official definition, the official definition would rule football as not being a sport, yours would not, so I will not accept yours.

crystal0192

in calculus if you are calculating a limit you can "rephrase" he function so that it is defined for all real numbers, the function is different, but it is clearer, the essence of the equation is the same, but the domain is not. rephrasing something can change the meaning slightly.

Rephrase:

express (an idea or question) in an alternative way, especially with the purpose of changing the detail or perspective of the original idea or question.

You don't have to accept mine, you are convincing me. I do not need my opinion validated by virtue of your acceptance, this is not a speech and debate tournament.

Pho_Lover

this isn't math this is debate, and the rule here is that only official definitions count, you are not using one, you are using yours, therefore this definition is flawed
