It isn't theory, it is a direct quote where you stated that the word was "repudiate and not refudiate". Now Mr. Don't-Be-A-Bad-Nazi, are you going to read your own statement, taken in context, with a bold added by myself, and either man up and admit you made a mistake in your assertion as to what was right, or are you going to act like you suppose Dixie does and ignore it and pretend your mistake never happened?Whatever.
Dixie himself, Maineman, and I were all clear on what was being talked about - whether or not "refudiate" was an actual word or not.....
....But, Damo has some other theory about what we were talking about.
LOL

Add a few LOLs, it might make people believe you.
Prissy, I am sorry, but the title of this thread, and the debate within, has nothing to do with the argument over whether or not "refudiate" is a word. You and Maineperv brought that up, no one else, and it has already been granted that you are correct about it not being a word, and I am incorrect, I admitted my error and have not argued that "refudiate" is a word, so I don't understand why you think you need to continue to claim I am arguing about it. I understand you wish to make this my argument, because you clearly see where you can win that argument, and it just tickles your nuts to finally win an argument with me, but really... there is no argument here. I agree, 'refudiate' is not a word, and I was incorrect. Can we now get back to what we were discussing? Or are you simply intent on destroying the integrity of the conversation by focusing on minutia and pointless rhetorical bluster?
Of course it is silly. I find it incredibly funny that while attempting to make fun of somebody for being a grammar nazi, you made a statement that was equally incorrect and was exactly the same mistake is very silly.this is silly Damo.
The only thing that matters is that Dixie himself recognized that were were laughing, because "refudiate" is not an actual word. "Repudiate" is an actual word.
If Dixie understands that, but you still can't, I'm not going to try to help you out. If you simply want to gallop in on your horse to rescue dixie, that's your choice. Dixie already understood what we meant
No, you insisted that the "right" word was refudiate when speaking to Dixie's remark. I read it, I quoted it, and the site actually provides a link to it when you quote it. So, when attempting to correct Dixie with an actual word, you ended up giving him the wrong word. Then later both of them started using that wrong word in their remarks.I never read asshats post, and I never suggested what the "right" word for the context was.
I suggest you address your concerns about which proper word to use (refute or repudiate), to asshat himself. I've never read a single one of his posts. So, I can't and never have judged any of his posts.
As I told you twenty posts ago, I simply laughed at the fact that dixie thought "refudiate" was an actual word, and that "repudiate" wasn't an acutal word.
You're being silly damo.
If you want to think "refudiate" is a real word, go right ahead.
Dixie, Maineman, and I disgree with you. Refudiate is not a real word.

I find it hilarious. I will continue to find it hilarious. Especially since you keep insisting Dixie admit to "this" or "that" but won't do it yourself!
Ahh... A mistype. I see. You are being totally disingenuous. I provided a link to what I have been arguing here. Cypress insisted the right word was "repudiate", I have shown that to be wrong.to save this one from being washed away by an edit

Are you deliberately dense? Or just lying?
Refudiate is not a word. The correct, "right" spelling of that word would be repudiate.
Again, if you have an issue as to whether Asshat should have used the word "refute" or "repudiate" in HIS post, TAKE THAT UP WITH HIM. I have never read a single post by Asshat, so I don't have a clue what "context" you're talking about"
