But i will take the time to dismantle your arguments in an attempt to make you believe that it is no less poorly contructed or illogical than the other posts around. (i sure hope you took the time to read through that Wiki article on Bare Assertion Fallacy that someone linked in an earlier post. One of them is that you know whoever you are correcting will ignore you and continue to believe whatever they want to believe, because they aren’t capable of rational thought. It’s like trying to argue the evidence for evolution with a religious fundamentalist. 1/ Baseless assumption that other people are not capable of rational thoughts. Reason? None given. Another reason is the nagging feeling that anyone else who can’t instantly see the really obvious holes in someone else’s argument just isn’t worth the time to enlighten. Their problem isn’t that they might be misinformed about a few things and just need to learn. Their problem is that they refuse to think critically, have lived their entire lives just believing the first thing they are told about anything, and have virtually zero capacity for true learning. Again I find myself wondering, why bother? 2/ Obvious holes? I dont think its obvious, many others dont seem to, either. In fact, as long as it is a matter that is being debated/discussed, it is most often not obvious (or else there would be no use debating/discussing at all). Slapping in the word "obvious" without backing up with reasons only make your argument look more superficial and ridiculous. Following up with a bunch of patronizing comments (on whoever that fails to say "omg, you are totally right!") only make it look even more childish. Even when replying to level-headed non-offensive posts like that of MadVillain, you never fail to add in stuffs like "zero capacity for true learning", "not worth the time to enlighten", or similar patronizing comments. (btw, to want to "enlighten" people already say a lot about how you think of yourself and others). Again, i feel that these posts are simply self-supremacy and baseless insults wrapped in flowery language, likely coming from one who desperately needs to feel superior to others. | ||

Anyway, what is up with the OP's phonetic spelling? "Chitin" is pronounced "Kahy-tin"? "Tyler" is pronounced "Tahy-ler"? Those are diphthongs, you don't separate them into individual vowel sounds. Chitin is "kie-tin" and Tyler is "tie-ler". Kahy-tin looks like you're trying to pronounce the silent H. | ||

That's most likely because people confuse wreak with wreck. I've just checked the polish/english online dictionary and it was mispronounced there too. | ||
