Funny = someone using a fake word, getting called out for it, then husknutting all in to defend its use. Commentable obviously isn't really a word anyone uses ever, and goutshake probably just used it by accident. Own up though, damn. Guy sounds like a garbubble.

Hey, augustink, I'm relaxed.

I will take the liberty of nominating your stupidity for a slot on the commentable quotes section of the reference literature..

So, it's come down to 'goutshake' and 'augustink', has it? And I had such high hopes for this argument.

Here are three links, that I found within a couple of seconds, that show commentable is not a recognized word.

I'm not trying to convince you of anything.

You spent a couple of seconds and came up empty handed, because you don't know how to use the internet.

Its not a debate to convince you of anything. I'm informing you how you come across.
You are empty headed as well as empty handed.

AND YET ANOTHER COMMENTABLE OBIT

http://mittendrinnen.blogspot.kr/2011/09/and-yet-another-commentable-obit.html

I don't think quoting a blog is reliable evidence, not does it seem like a good example of how to use the Internet.


ATTENTION! SHELTER IN PLACE! THIS IS THE LANGUAGE POLICE! WE AUTHORIZE ALL WORD USAGE! USE OF THE WORD COMMENTABLE IS NOT AUTHORIZED! SHELTER IN PLACE UNTIL THE PERPETRATOR HAS BEEN CAPTURED!

.................................................................................................

Here is a third dictionary link...

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=COMMENTABLE

If you don't like it its fine with me.

By the way I didn't quote A source, I quoted TWO examples of the word being used in everyday life.

Commentable is a word.

Commentable is in dictionaries.

Commentable is used in everyday life.

I have observed it used numerous times. If you haven't, then I can say the same to you as I said previously, the things you haven't seen could make up another world just about the same size as this one.

Its not my problem if you are not a well-read person.

You have obviously observed someone using a word that doesn't exist. That happens all the time. That doesn't make it a word.

As stated above, it's not in major dictionaries. What dictionary did you find it in?

And why are you yelling? Methinks the lady doth protest too much.


I already posted three dictionary links, and there are more, you really are not a well-read person and you don't know how to use the internet.

The text in capital letters is how you come across. I'm not yelling.

You used all caps--you're the one yelling.

Notice how SR is now trying to shift this discussion into whites being racist towards Koreans, JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER THREAD HE'S EVER PARTICIPATED ON HERE.

Meanwhile, he has defended the captain's actions on several threads, over dozens of pages to multiple posters simply because the captain is Korean.

For a guy who says he's so concerned about Koreans, he seems very willing to whitewash the deaths of hundreds of Korean children just to defend "Korea". I always had some level of respect or at least a playful tone with the guy, but he's shown his true colours here. It's become clear that I (and many others here) care more about Korean life than he does. He cares about Korean image. That's it. He's a fraud and a blind nationalist. He's not worth anyone's time anymore. Let him speak his delusions freely, it does more to discredit him than anything we'll ever say.


1) BlackCat, the guy compared Koreans to monkeys and in a prior post he took Koreans to task for using a monkey in a suit as a mascot for smokes. I think its pretty fair to point that out.

2) I NEVER defended the captain. I was discussing the decision. I didn't even fully defend the decision. I simply pointed out that it was a complicated one. I regularly mentioned that it was potentially justifiable under a very strict set of criteria. I also mentioned that the other decisions were justifiable as well and that that was a situation where the outcome is not guaranteed at the time the decision was to be made. Each decision contained its own risks and potential benefits. I also mentioned how I thought the captain was guilty of two other offenses at the least that warranted harsh punishment.

You can pretend I didn't say those things and make those points in that manner, but it doesn't make it true.

3) This wasn't about the captain being Korean. This was about a decision. As I said, if the captain was American/Canadian/Nigerian/Ecuadorean/Saudi/Thai/Japanese or Klingon, I would have made the same point about the decision.

Others made it about him being Korean. I stuck to the circumstances surrounding decision. Not once did I inject ethnicity into that decision process and it affecting the outcomes.

The funny thing is, if you look up commentable in that dictionary, it takes you to comment. You're quoting their BLOG.

FAIL!

No, you just made up a bunch of crap about being scientific.

When did reading media reports on the Internet become science?

And you're still defending the captain, posting that it was "potentially justifiable." In addition, you're now defending the fact that you were wrong.

Defend, excuse, apologize--the sr credo.

There was an old pork bellied cop

And he tried to force guava to stop

Using modern expression in his English lesson

That dumb fatwood cop was a flop

Changing other posters' quotes is a no-no, little girl.

Your poem is missing a rhyme. I'm betting you're a few fries short of a happy meal.

Yes, I'm saving the best verse for last.

You are a poetry critic with remarkable opinions.

And opinions are like assholes, everybody has one.

And yours stink.
