a question for native english speakers

[Altruist]

why fisherman, but whaler?

if it's because whales are mammals - why bear/deer hunter and not bearer/deerer? 

why frog hunter, but shrimper?

language isn't logical like math, it just is what it is

no intention to one up you or something, but language is immeasurably more logical than math

no intention to one up you or something, but logic isn't a quantity, so the second clause here is meaningless

[Altruist]

no intention to one up you or something, but logic isn't a quantity, so the second clause here is meaningless

the entire purpose, nature (stricto sensu) and the fucking definition of logic is quantifying nature (l. s.) or any other particular topic of interest within the field by reducing it to labeling elementary constituents of thought as true or false, lmfao

but yeah, this isn't exactly your area of expertise, so i can't blame you for embarrassing yourself

 Your response to "logic isn't a quantity," was "the purpose of logic is to quantify." The purpose of logic being to quantify says nothing about whether logic itself is a quantity. You're talking past me.


N.B. You still have a few minutes to edit your post to save yourself the humiliation and make me look like a schizo

the faggot admin shortened the time for editing to 10 minutes, lmao.

i cut out the part where you are pretending to not know i have been editing even the most banal posts of mine since i registered, which is something i'm famous for and something people have been calling me out on since forever

my response was a follow up to the post you replied to. your meaningless bullshit statement that "logic isn't a quantity" has nothing to do with my posts before and after that

The purpose of logic being to quantify says nothing about whether logic itself is a quantity

keep talking to yourself, professional word-salad creator

can you even solve a quadratic equation? because, you know, the rules for it are a bit more rigid than whichever standards apply to your field

[Altruist]

Fucking brutal

what is brutal about that post? the fact that he had to backtrack in advance because he was aware that brutal deconstruction was coming or?
