150 rockets fired at Israel after IDF assassinates Gaza terror leader

I'll try to make this simple enough that even you can understand it. A series of words can be composed of letter-combinations, each found in an English dictionary, but the series, as a whole, need not be a sentence in English. What you wrote was not a sentence in English, thus I said that I would respond to it when it was rewritten in English. Asking me about the words and ignoring that a series of words is not necessarily an English sentence is obfuscation par excellence. Are you being intentionally obtuse or are you just that limited in your understanding? I'll wait while you look up the tough words I used.


Ahh, more insult, they taught you well in teacher training.

You made a statement that mentioned English, not composition, it was obviously wrong, by your own words here it was wrong. Have you any idea of the credibility that puts on your insults??? It is truly laughable

Actually, my training taught me that English refers both to the vocabulary and the semantics. You must have missed that which explains why you think your sentence is written in English. You just keep digging a deeper hole for yourself. It is sad.

You made a claim,no mention of semantics, your claim failed, and you have as yet provided no evidenced that my comment was not written in English
Get over it

Yes, I did make a claim -- that your sentence was not written in English. It was written WITH English words, but was not an English sentence. You just can't accept that. For something to be written in English, it must both have English words (in some form) and conform to the semantic rules of English (depending on the particular dialect and local form). Notice I didn't say "write that in English words." As stated earlier, you would, by your definition, have to defend this as "in English": Monkey puppy grouchy us green antonym trying verisimilitude.
Strictly speaking, that is a sentence written in gibberish, using English words. It is not a sentence in English. Did you need anything else explained?

When did use the word racist??? You have absolutely no idea who i am so once again your insult fails
First, please include the required personal pronoun in your first sentence -- your meaning is unclear if you insist on writing without a subject.
Second, nothing that I wrote had anything to do with the word "racist," so I have no idea what you are talking about.
Third, my earlier response wasn't to anything you said your labeling my comment hypocrisy doesn't have much value.
Fourth, nothing I said in that post was an insult.

Care to try again?

Except that the role of UN Watch isn't to condemn transgressions of countries. It criticizes the UN and its selective attention to violations. That you think this quote is meaningful is just another example of your not understanding what is going on here. That Angola and the Congo are on the HRC is a problem related to the UN, so UN Watch speaks against that. Notice the name is "UN Watch. Not "country watch." Try to keep up.

Based on this, would you advocate that the US withdraw from the United Nations?

They were referring to this image that you posted:
https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/list/000/769/295/7c2.jpg

I assume you thought the image just had the quote "You keep using that word..." but it actually says "You keep using the word racist".

It was a simple error, just as ChristineM's typos and grammatical errors are. I don't want to lurch back into this debate, but you could do with laying off the quality of Christine's written responses. Mocking someone's writing is not a healthy way to debate.

Please show where it was not written in English. You could of course have done this immediately but hey, ho, round and round you go

Ahh more insult, cool,. Yes. If you could explain, what caused the universe? What is dark energy? How big is the universe? Why do some people think us ok to abuse and kill and withhold human rights so they can steal land? And why do they get so peed off when they are censured for such atrocities? Yes there are lots of things i would like explaining.

Hey, i will write how i like, no one else has trouble with my writing so perhaps the problem is at your end. Anyway, if you dont like it tough.

You posted the image, are you saying you are clueless about what you post?

Actually my response was directly driven by your hypocrisy

You dont even know when you are insulting people. Maybe its a problem to discuss with your doctor

Try what? Massaging your ego? Doubtful

A great question and I'm not trained in all the subtleties of the UN to say anything with the authority of anything other than my opinion, but I would say that the US's presence gives it standing to make public objection to the inanity of the body as a whole. But quitting it and kicking it out of NYC would free up a lot of real estate.

I had not seen the word racist -- I did a search for the image and just copied the URL of the one that came up first for my search.
Separately, when someone's meaning is lost because of those typos then calling the typos out in order to ascertain meaning seems reasonable. There have been plenty of typos I haven't mentioned but the ones that are so egregious as to make deciphering meaning impossible need to be pointed out or else their points, whatever they are, cannot be addressed. There is very little about this forum that approaches debate in any formal sense, but in a debate, questioning the precision of language and usage is fair game.

If I have to show you how something is not written in English then you are parading a lack of knowledge of English. I pointed it out and isolated the offending non-English collection of words. You could have reworded it at the moment but you chose not to. That was your call.

You seem insulted by statements of fact and are in need of many things unrelated to the structure of English explained to you. Let's start with the basics of the English sentence and work from there.
