I said in some instances, did not say it was specific to his.. yet I was told I was wrong - which I was not. What's there to argue there? Nothing.
Then who the fuck are you talking to? We were having a convo, dumbass samwell used monosyllabic wrong and you attempted to say we were wrong for attacking it...

Holy shit, you can break a word down.. and the dictionary, merriam-webster is wrong! Email them and tell them to correct this obvious oversight as it appears you're well beyond all of their editors in terms of the English language - even though their editors have a PhD in the field. Joke time is over, you're getting boring as you're repeating something you can not argue based on the meaning of the word as proven in multiple dictionaries and languages.

Where did I say either of you two were wrong for attacking his usage? Nowhere did I say that, and none of my posts are edited. I was pointing out that based on context/usage, it could be used in a way to mean more than one syllable, that is all.

Actually he didn't use it incorrectly. He said "monosyllabic definition" meaning short or terse. It's archaic in use but is still correct.

It was that in which Harry Montague, after a sad, almost monosyllabic scene of parting with Miss Dyas, bade her good-bye, and turned to go.
If the truth must be told, even Mr Swiveller's approaches to the single gentleman were of a very distant kind, and met with small encouragement; but, as he never returned from a monosyllabic conference with the unknown, without quoting such expressions as
One man, hearing that he had studied art in Paris, and fancying himself on his taste, tried to discuss art with him; but Philip was impatient of views which did not agree with his own; and, finding quickly that the other's ideas were conventional, grew monosyllabic.

haha pussyhurting from using a word incorrectly, I didn't use a one word definition or a one syllable word(monosyllabic) or a grunt so in all definitions even ones not used with competence are you still correct.

So tell me how a word that means one syllable is used to describe a sentence?

Really?

So what part of including every part of the definition, except one very minute part, is monosyllabic?
3. conspicuously brief in answering

It is not. He gave the entire definition minus a 10 word sentence. Furthermore, his view is the correct one, and Buckys was the incorrect one... He said you can bigot individuals as well as groups whereas buck said only groups. If anyone was monosyllabic, it was unclebuck

It's called having more than one definition you moron.
I figured the copy/paste of the definition would help him solve it, but I think he's been eating lead paint chips - is why joke time is over for me... good luck arguing with the inept. You might as well talk to the ladies in the green room, you'll make more progress. :D

you still haven't explained how a complete sentence is associated with a one syllable word.

Looks like you jumped into an argument you had no idea about, or else you are retarded. Nontheist was for including all parts of the definition...
In this instance, the opposite of monosyllabic

His intentions really don't matter, that's why's he's the "bad guy" and the cops are the "good guys" (in theory) they're supposed to abide to their oath to protect and uphold the law.

Doesnt that generally involve a trial of some sort?
Generally. But, this was more a situation of a rabid dog. His intention was to kill cops. He did. The oath and duty is to bring it to an end, and not let him slip back down into the Basin, under cover of darkness. And he would not talk. He knew and they knew, the next step is CS. That will burn down the place, we in the USA know the score. It's settled. But, not even, by any means.

And he is a folk hero. Had he killed the civilians or even took their cells and kidnapped them, he would be alive today. He could have driven down the hill in the guy's truck with him and the dog.

He ordained this and he knew what he was doing.
