Not looking good for Diamond, then?
Look, this is ridiculous. It's hardly a challenging or complicated term. It's not exactly "antidisestablishmentarianism." It's the sort of word that anyone with the slightest pretense to being halfway informed would know automatically.
And thus we see that Violent Panda is an idiot.

Proper break this time
What's challenging about antidisestablishmentarianism? Other than having the patience to type it.

You been watching videos of La Flint?
Who was it who used to preface every statement with: "I say this..." That's rhetoric that is.

If it's a term that the knowledge of its meaning is evidence of being at least "halfway informed" why (Or indeed how) would one Know it's meaning "automatically"?
It depends what you mean by "automatically."

Indeed.
In truth, I had never heard of 'ameliroanionist' either...although I was fairly sure I knew what ameliorationist meant...but generally leave the pedantry to the undisputed top-dog of wordsmithing, Pickmans...and anyway, in the arcane world of political lingo, I am a mere novice.

depends what you mean by know. i thought that dwyer might have picked up on that, being as he's so big on epistemology.

i am by no means the top-dog of wordsmithing, there are numerous uberpedants out there who have claimed the title with more justification.
So you don't know the meaning of "epistemology."

It's the biggest or at least one of the biggest upsets in betting political history if it does come to pass.

it's that branch of philosophy connected with knowledge. i do know that. but i can work out what ameliarationist or what not is without having previously encountered it, because i know what to ameliorate is.

Indeed, but they tend not to leap in with such obvious lip-smacking glee over every wayward apostrophe...but as a sneaky pedant myself, no condemnation coming from this quarter.
It's what philosophers say when they're pissed.

yeh, they can hold their drink but i bet you're stuck on a short word such as pickle once you've had a mere whiff of the barmaid's apron.
The Corbyn nomination maybe, but the appetite of the common person for a more balanced and authentic representation has been glaringly obvious from the minute Blair sidled up to Bush. The whole moving leftwards suicide meme has been utterly incomprehensible to practically anyone with only the merest engagement with the current political climate...or at least, anyone excluded from the exclusive Westminster country club.
All good news for the bookies though.

Wow, your posts constantly stun me with what an arrogant nasty prick you seem to be. I really hope for anyone you know that this is just an internet personality rather than your real self.

He really shouldn't rely on it quite so much. Some of us still laugh when recalling phil's attempts at knowledge about Freemasonry - googled from loon sites.

Yet another thing that you try furiously to "prove", yet never succeed in doing. The reason you don't succeed is that you're a tosser.
