Draco keeps swearing at reach and yellow (who wont be here until the day of the tournament) and i agree with him, as they get to play top notch players while we have a week of idleness doing nothing. Die in twin tower skinny koreans.. oh ... that doesn't sound anywhere near as good as the original I've been playing random chinese protoss's all day. I want some ultra tough opponents though *begins to twiddle his thumbs* Why don't you and draco play eachother? it would only affect one match | ||

Unless you are stating that there are antonyms in the sentence, then that's not really relevant It isn't really a result of hot->cold, or light->heavy. It is due to stressing certain words. Testie is basically claiming (assuming I understood correctly) that nothing is impossible is not true; in other words that |nothing is not impossible|. If you stress the word nothing, as is the standard interpretation: nothing is not impossible You end up with a resultant sentence including the antonym of nothing, which is something: something is impossible correcting for grammar, we get the statement that some things are impossible. If you instead stress the word impossible: nothing is not impossible we end up with the antonym of impossible; which is possible: nothing is possible A rather absurd interpretation, but valid outside of context. This is why I believe it is a joke. Antonyms are being used, but they are replacing which ever word is being stressed. Since this is an online conversation, and words cannot be vocally stressed - Try it yourself: say nothing is impossible out loud and see which word you place the most emphasis on - there is a gray area which is being exploited in the second interpretation. Antonyms then are the method, while stress provides the reason. EDIT: Also note that antonyms concern word pairs and not statement pairs. | ||

Maybe you could explain your antonym theory? Nevermind. I'm right. You are wrong. Have a bunny. There is no point in arguing over something so stupid... Lets stop derailing the thread. | ||
