Mr Vicarious Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Jake Liebenow' timestamp='1341376450' post='3003165'] No need, I'll do it for you. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/literal [quote]1. in accordance with, involving, or being the primary or strict meaning of the word or words; [b]not figurative or metaphorical[/b]: the literal meaning of a word.[/quote] "Literally the definition of a blitz" is thus an accurate phrase. Next time you go about trying to attack someone's grammar, try having proper grammar yourself. I hear they teach that in 2nd grade or something. [/quote] wow, wow, wow... At no point did I attack Mr Culkin's grammar. While it is atrocious, I figured that could be left unsaid. As Kenna has already pointed out, our dispute is with the word choice. I've bolded the part of your definition that I think properly highlights the inaccuracy of said statement. Now perhaps it's the literal definition of blitz with which you are having trouble. Here it is, and from your own source even! I've taken the liberty of bolding the portion that we find lacking. [quote]1. Military . a. [b]an overwhelming all-out attack, especially a swift ground attack using armored units and air support. b. an intensive aerial bombing. [/b][/quote] I think it's particularly inappropriate as many of your nations seem to have decided not to use any bombers at all.

Ackbarican Idol Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 [quote name='Melancholy Culkin' timestamp='1341258629' post='3001899'] What we did is quite literally the definition of a blitz. Jesus christ are you being purposefully dense? [/quote] Jesus Christ is a proper name and should always be capitalized. If you can't respect our Lord and savior, could you at least try and respect the English language? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirWilliam Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Fark's going to win this war yet by popping up wherever (including in a government announcement thread), whenever (so every day), shouting to the masses that they're dominating their adversaries, that their adversaries are awful, etc etc etc. This will be supplemented with crap propaganda and anecdotal stories. The government being announced in this thread would be very wise to just give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] SirWilliam, you're implying by this statement that we're frustrated at the constant stupidity of Fark's OWF posters. Believe me, we simply act as catalysts, stoking the fire - they'll be stupid all by themselves. I welcome every Farker to post in this thread. Granted, it lowers the overall IQ of the OWF a good 30 points, but they're so easy to tease. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. I have yet to not laugh and be amazed by a Fark post Thanks Neo Uruk!
