  Your Logical Fallacy is ...
« on: May 02, 2012, 05:34:05 AM » by Misanthropic Scott


For a readable version, you'll have to download one of the PDFs from here: http://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/poster

I'm not going to pretend I've never done any of these. Perhaps referring to this once in a while will keep us all honest.

I'll read that with interest.  Different format, may have different explanations.

Did you happen to notice if "using the wrong word and not willing to use the dictionary to correct one's self" made the list?  ......   Ha, ha.  Maybe thats a fixation rather than a logic error?

No. I didn't. But, I'll remember that the next time you do so, as with sentience.

American's don't have a language, they just abuse the language of the English, and some of you can't even spell it correctly, never mind pronounce it properly!

Probably the Oxford English Dictionary.  Still in print, or maybe just stopped last year?  Depends on how you define a word but I think the English total is around 150,000 with you are right 99% of the communication taking place using only about 3000.  Lots of history and culture in all those words--each with its own meaning.

OED is huge! Probably best to just subscribe to it online for only $295/yr.

The 6" single book was probably Webster's Unabridged.
