At contrair, the comment was made to discredit people.
I was not bolstering anything but reestablishing.

1) The dictionary completely contradicted you in that instance, which is probably why you never got around to citing it.
2) Either it's not the same word in Spanish, or you're wrong in Spanish, too. I don't know which, but I wouldn't presume to correct a native speaker, especially when all it takes is a single dictionary entry to prove me wrong.

Who precisely were you attempting to discredit, and how did you expect your religious affiliation or lack thereof to do that?

Uh huh. And you still don't understand the difference between "compare" and "comparable." Which would be excusable due to the language barrier, had it not been explained to you at length by three or four different people. So, let me be more direct: stop trying to one up native speakers in English. It just makes you look like a fool.

The difference as you yourself put on that discussion, is that "comparable" means things that can be compared. We already saw the meaning of compare.

About native speaking, people talking Spanish make mistakes about their native languages, I have found English speakers to be the same. It happens on all the languages really, no surprise there.

In any case, the blatant misdirection of the thread got me bored already. I shall come back another time I guess.

Except that that's not actually what comparable means, as was explained to you at length by multiple people. I already said that. Why don't you end the argument by quoting the definition of comparable? I asked you to do that once before, but for some reason you never did. Do I need to spoon feed you yet again?

No, you didn't. That's more or less the definition I provided. Did you read it? It says "similar" and "of equivalent quality," and yes "worthy of comparison." The fact that to maintain your argument, you must ignore 2 of the 3 explanations as well as two thirds of the remaining one does not speak well of your integrity.

Meh. Better for you to just quote or summarize, I think. I'm not comfortable with allowing unknown files access to my computer, and I don't think that's unreasonable.
