why has this thread suddenly turned into a,lesson in the english language

lets face it ryan & hughie dont know what many words mean if they have more than 3 letters

:joker: lol so true :D

i'd hazard a guess it's because words have meanings and when people ignore those meanings it results in confusion *bites inner cheek*

You were one of the people who thought disrespectful and derogatory meant the same thing. But yes, tell us more about ignoring the meanings of words and how that confuses people. :joker:

They were shocked at Jason's reason because he hadn't said anything about it in the past. Same for Lateysha.

he explained himself.. he finds it hard to talk (and the way some Hm's over react I can see why he keeps quiet most of the time)

Im not sure if you mean why he voted for teesh out.. or if you mean teesh did same thing..??

so I will ask .. what do you mean by 'Same for Lateysha'

:laugh2:

so neither of you followed the link to all the dictionaries? silly me, of course not.

:clap1: My thoughts exactly

:laugh2::laugh2::laugh2:

These threads are becoming more and more like Serious Debates by the minute.

perhaps i should have c&p'd to make life easier but i've always found links quite simple to click on :shrug:

and as a published writer/copy editor/editor for fun/once-upon-a-time owner-admin of a writing site then i thought i'd be helpful by offering some choice.... :wavey:

:moons: :cheer2:

This is getting completely embarrasing for you. Yes we followed the link and yes we understand that to be derogatory you need to show a disrespectful attitude. But disrespectful does not mean derogatory and derogatory does not mean disrespectful. Derogatory also does not mean showing or attitude.. Incase thats how you think dictionaries work..

Ryan was disrespectful in his words, not derogatory. They are not synonyms. You, Kazzane and Jason not understanding this is the problem.

Tldr/too stubborn to admit im wrong:
All derogatory things are disrepectful
Not all disrespectful things are derogatory

Spittin on a grave is disrepectful and not derogatory.
Jasons example of Ryans "derogatory comments" were disrespectful and not derogatory

Come on now. This is basic stuff, i shouldnt have to be repeating it in different ways.

Jasons vote for Ryan was completely valid.. Jason didnt like thhe crude and disrespectful ways he spoke about others. But his reason "Ryan was being derogatory" was invalid. The example Jason gave had nothing derogatory about it.. Jason just had a try with a long word and failed. And thats why the house was confused. If Jason had said "sometimes, Ryan is disrespectful" i am certain nobody would kick a fuss because its very easy to remember plenty of times where this was true.

Derogatory is a very direct insult about a specific type of act which nobody has seen Ryan do in the house.

Although his justification was fair, his words were not. I think Jason learnt his lesson of dont use big words unless he understand them, hope a few others take this lesson around wih them too.

maybe move beyond the basics ;)

Maybe learn the basics
