You say Filo like one word, and then say Sofee. Small accent on the o in Sofee
We need to stop this!

Yeah, pronounced like that.
It's funner when you pronounce it my way instead of the standard way.

Yeah. It also makes you sound like an idiot, but there is much more fun in saying philosophy my way.
What the heck is a rickroll ! 🤷♂️....is it something served up fries 🍟
Btw Jack has a nasty habit of correcting members who make grammar faults , yet his own grammar is far from perfect ! 🤷♂️

I don't correct grammar much anymore.
Unless I can't even understand what they were saying.

One grammar mistake that no one would even correct, and suddenly I'm one of those 10 year olds that no one can understand because they spend their life texting, or just never learned grammar.

If a young pup like you doesn't understand them what chance do us old timers have?
Also, what does that have to do with anything we were discussing? If you want to roast them for atrocious grammar, go ahead. Tell them that they are nonsensical.

Meh, what's wrong with being defensive? I've won arguments by people making outlandish remarks while I defend myself and they look silly.

Mm, no. I only pick fights when I know I'm on the right side. I haven't "lost," an argument yet, at least in my definition.

This is according to Merriam-Webster. Of course, they wrote pedestrian instead of apedestrian, but with the recent changes, I understand it may be outdated and need some time to fully accept all my changes with the pedestrian/cyclist revolution.
The modern meaning has changed and is no longer accurate.
Only philosophers can change words, not dictionary people.
Who do these people think they are? They must be mistaken.
I'm afraid philosophers don't change words. The general public does, for they are the one who uses the language and test its words in casual conversation and formal documentation
Your feebleness is amusing.
I guess you aren't even going to prove that you're right. Have you realized the hopelessness of your argument?

Not if I can prove to them that they are an idiot. My definition of, "winning," is being right, and convincing the spectators you are right. Unless it's an opinion, then just the latter.
That's why I used to put up a show for everyone when I argued, but now I'm more relaxed and not as attacking. I don't mind much defending.

In response to History's statement of arguing with idiots is losing.

The problem is you have continued to deny the opinion that has been proven correct. You simply can't admit you're wrong.

Correcting ones grammar or spelling is rarely productive in a forum such as this. I try not to do it facetiously. I honestly believe the erosion of the language is harmful in certain respects. I would hope we do not someday all sound like Snoop Dog.
It doesn't make you sound smart. It makes you sound like you're trying to sound smart, perhaps because you're dumb
I like to pronounce it Filo Sofee. Accent on the Sofee.
