I did MISTAKENLY use the word "copy" but i think anyone with any sense can tell i did not mean an exact copy.
copy
/ˈkɒpi/
noun, plural cop·ies
An imitation, reproduction, or transcript of an original
I don't know how this could possibly be taken out of context - You said copy so you meant copy; not an original design that take inspiration from or a modified version of, a copy. If you meant otherwise, you wouldn't have said copy.
1. I think it's adorable that you think words have intrinsic meanings! They mean whatever the person using them intended, and do a lesser edegree, what the person hearing them wants them to mean. Dictionaries are NOT authorities on the usage of words they simply list their most common usages.
2. Right... Becasue you somehow how know what goes on inside my own head, better then I? You should contact some scientist, you might be the 1st actual real physic ever!
I clarified what I meant. If you don't want to believe me, that's cool. I would also say that Hello again is a "copy" of a a vintage M0110, but it differs in a number of ways.
So.. you honestly believe, now just try real hard to think about it, (you can do it, I believe in you!) that i meant make an exact copy, when the world of custom keebs has a ton of new innovations and trends since the elephant's inception? You honestly believe that someone would go through the trouble designing a keeb, even one based off an existing one (as if ALL keyboard are not based on their predecessors.) and just copy that other keyboard exactly? Like they wouldn't have their own preferences? ..Huh, well, okay. I think your being dishonest, but whatever.
All that being said, and ignoring what i originally meant, there would STILL be absolutely nothing wrong with someone deciding to be really lame and boring, and copy the board almost exactly. (I still don't know why anyone would possibly do that.. or even believe that someone would want to do that...) And you have, continuity, over and over, failed to make a logical case for why it would be wrong.
NEXT!
EDit: I don't want to clog this thread up anymore, so i'll just edit this post- I predict that the very next post will be more baseless insults, with zero substance, becasue when you back the incompetent into a corner, that's what you get.
"Diatribe" Who or what do you imagine i was "attacking"? I haven't insulted anyone, I don't need to, so far, all the available information points to me being correct, and no matter how many times i ask for someone to please demonstrate how i'm wrong, that can't, and just want to name call like an emotional child. Unlike you, I rather know when I'm wrong, so i can stop being wrong.
Edit deuce: "Short story" Jesus christ, the education in this country is abysmal... There are some poor dolts that think a few sentences is a "short story".. I wish i could say I thought that level of ignorance was "adorable" but it's just gross and sad.
"Baited", yeah.. you got me.. sigh..
Still waiting on something of substance.. I like pitiful, baseless, personal attacks as much as the next guy.. But just at least TRY and make some kind of point.. please.
there was no "threadcrapping" on my part. check your pathetic little bias..
