again, there's nothing of substance in what you just posted. How do you say it's a misconception that the US is a country in one post, back track in the next post, and then spend the rest of the time dismissing the fact that you said that it's a misconception that the US is a country. You do know I quoted you right?

Again, reading is fundamental. My point was that comparing The U.S directly to Slovenia because they are "countries" is pretty stupid.

Think of it this way. Rhode Island and California are two states within the U.S. They are of the same POLITICAL importance, but in terms of GDP and land mass, they are not comparable.

SLovenia and the U.S. are not comparable geographically, politically, or economically. The U.S. presents itself as a single nation militarily, but the staes are allowed to conduct their own foreign policy. A "province" is not able to do that.

The main point is that the U.S.' s direct comparison should be to the E.U, and that slovenia and alabama are a fair comparison.

And we are talking about basketball, not economic significance so perhaps you're missing the actual scope. You again were wrong and I will keep barking on that because you came in here trying to educate and lacked the necessary connotations to do so.

And we're done here :JJ:

How the fukk do so many stupid blowhards end up on this forum?

EDIT: It's also funny that you actually said nothing about the distinctions between and among a "state" a "nation" a "country" and a "nation-state". But since you don't know what a connotation is, that only makes sense. :AA:

You're an idiot.

So LA Lakers should never play the Oklahoma City Thunder, it's not a fair matchup because LA is much larger than OKC. SMH.

You keep harping at meaningless points.

I just can't right now. You go look up the word connotation - maybe if you new how to use it, you would know that's why nation, country, state aren't mutually exclusive terms. Of course because you took the literal definition of them, you probably got confused

I know what a connotation is and how to use the term correctly. You do not :JJ:

And I never said those terms were mutually exclusive, I said they were not "coterminous" or "coextensive"

Looking up words in a dictionary is not sufficient, Mr. Connotations :JJ:

You're "harping" up the wrong tree :JJ:

now he's the grammar guy because I made you look stupid, have fun. This is conversational English - but I'm sure everyone will be excited to read you nitpicking sentence structure and grammatical errors. At least I know the USA is a country and what a connotation is

You accused me of not understanding terms without every defining how. Then you misused two words. And now you call me the "Grammar guy" even though I was pointing out a "syntax" error.

Keep burying yourself, retard. :AA:

acutally you don't know what connotation means and I'm curious if you even know what "harping" is ...because you're using it strangely and incorrectly. I thought you were making fun of the preposition I used after, but now I think you don't really have a grasp of the English language.

A connotation is an implication, a suggestion an undertone etc.

You're saying he lacked the wrong implications and suggestions for his argument?

Aren't arguments generally about facts not implications?

Even without the poorly placed preposition, that was a misuse of the term. You strike me as one those idiots that randomly uses words without proper connotation. That's deeply ironic, Mr. Connotation.

syntax is sub-category of gammar or lexico grammar

again you don't know categorization or definition or connotations of words, you're just throwing shyt out there hoping to sound smart.

the country vs state argument he made was literal and made them exclusive in his first post, which he stated that a common misconception was that the US was a country but it really was a multi-state, if you look at the implied definitions you would see that they are not mutually exclusive.

connotation is literally the attributes of a word that allows categorization of that words and the defining set that it embodies. I used connotation to show the exclusivity and categorization of the word state and country in the way he used it could be used for the US.
