What is a Definition

[Pistolero]

Idiot...I speak 3 languages....and one of them is Greek.
Are you going to teach me what anthropomorphism means?
Really?

[Phil8659]

I believe a dog is smarter than this guy.

[Pistolero]

Until you show me a 'one' or explain what words/symbols represent....I think I am wasting my time on a pretentious twat, that has found a bunch of simpletons to pretend he's a genius.

Ta, Ta,

[Phil8659]

So, I thank the above gentleman for providing a fine example of why, A Correct Grammar book is not for simple people, you can walk them through it step by step, and it does not click in their minds. I have even said as much in my work, but here, we have a live, unrehearsed example of the simple minded. They don't get it. Plato said the same of Aristotle, and that is probably why the general masses of wannabe intellectuals claim him.

The computer today, demonstrates dialectic for all information processing, but the normal person who uses one can never actually learn the computer, they can only learn how to use it by rote.

[Pistolero]

The bold and font size make it all the more convincing.

Compensating, much...
Ha!

[Pistolero]

An example of a symbolic gesture with no external referent....
This twat wants to pretend he's a genius, but all he has are words....symbolically made to appear as more than what they are.

Ha!

I love your emoticon, still in the age of gestures I see.

[Pistolero]

I adapt to the level of my adversary...and you are a pretentious twat, using font to appear to be more.

Isn't that part of the meaning of Anthropomorphism, endowing inanimate objects with human characteristics. You are afraid of large people I take it. How you react tells a lot about how smart you are.

Speaking of...for the audience...why does this moron use these symbolic means?
What does it want to present as factual, when it refer to nothing actual?
When this nitwit, uses pretentious references and font size, what is he trying to convey, which he cannot do in reality?

It has to do with my question:
What do symbols/words, including gestures, sports cars, luxury items, large homes....represent?

Why son, they represent the United Federation of Planets, still in there early stages of learning how to read.

[Phil8659]

And do not forget to vote for the sports car, I hear its his last term, he will be traded in for utility van.

[Pistolero]

Hint...
It has to do with art.
What is art....
Language is an art-form....representational.

Grammar is to language what melody is to music.

What are the two general motives in all representational art?

How does language emerge?
What is its primary and primal, utility?

[Phil8659]

I had no idea that Disney Movies was causing so much brain damage.

Why you could be their poster boy!

Why if you call what you did to those words, we are into a new age of Art Masochism.

For me, however, you have provide a lot of comic relief. As Plato proved, Comedy and Tragedy go hand in hand, after all they are coorelatives.

[Pistolero]

A Platonist...
His Ideals led to Christianity.

This 'one' must exist in the Platonic ideal realm...and only casts its shadow upon us.
