A paradox reduced to two words, usually in an adjective-noun ("eloquent silence") or adverb-adjective ("inertly strong") relationship, and is used for effect, to emphasize contrasts, incongruities, hypocrisy, or simply the complex nature of reality. Examples: wise fool, ignorantly learned, laughing sadness, pious hate.
Sorry, 2 words. I take back my ruling after looking up the definition.
Although commonly confused and misused in colloquial English, e.g. (exempli gratia) and i.e. (id est), both from Latin, are not equivalents.
Exempli gratia, which means "for example", is used before giving examples of something:
I have lots of favorite colors, e.g., blue, green, and hot pink.
Id est, which means "that is" or "in other words", is used before clarifying the meaning of something when elaborating, specifying, or explaining rather than when giving examples:
I can't decide on just one favorite color, i.e., I have many favorite colors.
A common mnemonic for English speakers is i.e. being the initials for "in effect", "I explain" and, arguably, "indicative example" ; and e.g. being the initials for "example given".

all you do is up your fucking posts. which is retarded. you dont get respect for having 10912301283 posts.
and right as your about to type "this is in spam, it doesnt up my posts" it clutters up the place like hell. and dont deny that you do it in other threads.
well your off subject shit is just as annoying. and no, going offsubject isnt considered "fun". going against the rules on purpose isnt "fun". maybe for a little boy who thinks its funny to do shit like that. but not people who are smart enough to make paragraphs, responses, letters, etc; relating to the subject at hand at all. (chaos: why r u typing this in a forum game? hyporcrite) when i saw 5 posts in a row it pissed me off so badly just to do it here. and it wont waste a post.
Actually I just like to have fun thank you very much. I like posting a lot, I like awaiting replies and see what comes up why don't you go post pointless reasons somewhere else.
Yes, offsubject IS considered fun. When I go offsubject I either:
A.) Already said what I thought on the subject (I'd say this is about 85% of the time) and then I go off-subject to other peoples post that go offsubject before mine and I comment on it. Or,
B.) I don't go on subject first post but I eventually realize this mistake and say something about the subject. I usually realize this pretty fast. I debate a lot even in the spam forum... I like debating, I have only spammed once or twice in this forum and it's OKAY to go off-subject, everyone does it! Whether they say something on subject then off or do off then on first. and some people might not even post on subject stuff at all. Why are you attacking me?
Who said I thought it was funny to go off-topic. Well, it can lead to some posts that are funny or subjects that are funny, but the fact of going off-topic isn't funny... I think I'm quite more mature then you see from your worthless eyes.
Btw, when I post, how can I help upping my posts...? I just like posting. I like being around other people in an almost 100% community like this. I like chatting, debating, and just having fun. I like doing stuff other then games.
Can you please admit you are wrong and get off my back now please? You only ever got mad at me after the Zoom Zoom thing, you're just trying to think of excuses now. I'm sorry if you don't like that I have fun.
ANYWAYS, to continue, Microsoft Works
Sorry if I posted this one.
ill go slow for your slow mind.
First off, this is just all bullcrap

All your smileys when you reply to an angry mail about your spam, "I think its fun to spam :D" makes me assume its funny to you. And no, going off topic ISN'T funny, so i still dont understand why you do it every time. If you had an ounce of maturity you advertise you have, you wouldn't say "worthless eyes" because; one, you must be an idiot. I think with my head not my eyes. I comprehend what your typing with my brain, not in my eyes. My eyes see things upside down. thats not very smart now is it? How would that be useful? My optic nerve..blah.. i think i failed that science class. But anyways... dont say you're mature when all you do is do immature things.

Actually I just like to have fun thank you very much. I like posting a lot, I like awaiting replies and see what comes up why don't you go post pointless reasons somewhere else.
Again with the smileys. I'm assuming its funny to you. And define pointless reason? Aointless in what ways? What damnded reasons? You like to make threads too large to sort the spam out and the good opinions in? You think its fun awaiting someone to bitch at you for this? When you said "i like posting alot" i think of you upping your posts count. That's all i can think of. Theres no reason to say that. I'd say "i like posting my opinions and debating my opinions with someone with other ones" something along those lines makes you seem much less of a 6 year old.

A.) Already said what I thought on the subject (I'd say this is about 85% of the time) and then I go off-subject to other peoples post that go offsubject before mine and I comment on it. Or,
If you have already stated what you think of the subject, there is absolutely no need to post again unless someone is interested in your opinion or has a different one and asks about it, ETC. Don't blame other people for your mistakes and ignorance. Saying "II went off subject because he did!" sure doesn't seem mature to me. You're only contributing to the non-sense babble that i have to shuffle through every time i come here.

Okay, next time you realize it, dont wait until someone tells you to stop spamming. Press edit, and then delete. We dont want to read it. But. . . if you make a-NOTHER post explaining the other one... then i just consider you a post-count-upper and a spammer. Don't lie and say you have only spammed once or twice. No, i am not going to go to everyone of your posts and count. Debating over the subject at hand is fine; not random crap in a thread that has nothing to do with the subject. (why i am posting all this in the thread, *shrug*) it is NOT okay to go off-subject. It's in the rules [somewhere] to stay on topic. Again, just because other people do it doesn't give you the right to do it also. I am attacking you because you're the most consistent person as a spammer. 5 posts in a row set me off. I don't see anyone else who do this everyday and just clutter up the forum with nonsense shit rolling out their cyber-mouths.

How can you avoid it? don't post 5 things in 5 different posts. live by your sig and actually use it. If you dont have anything to say relating to the subject, dont say anything. And if nothing worthy comes to mind at that MINUTE, wait until you have something to say. Even then, you dont have an excuse. Use the edit button.[the lord god gave you tools to use, not ignore] half of this page in this thread are your posts. it wouldnt be that way if you correctly posted. If you like being arund other people, go find an orgy clan. theyre great to be around other people. save chatting for close friends that you trust, not random strangers. debating, go for it. express your narrow-minded opinions - just start your own thread "i think . . . " dont post random segments of your imagination in random threads. You can have fun, just not immature retarded type fun. dont act like a child, and i promise you would be treated with more respect than you are now.

I hate that you assume everything. ive been meaning to say all this to you before that zoom zoom zoom thing, but even AFTER in that thread i said stop posting that shit, you did it again. and again. that just shows your maturity. not you saying "im mature". What you post shows it. im not looking for excuses, im trying to get you to act your age. all im doing is helping you, i dont want you to be the annoying kid that just spams. you should say what you mean. "can you please admit that you're wrong" zomfg. wow. again, act your age. i remember when i was 7 my neighbor always said that. and i swear, i almost stabbed her. please, dont act like a 6 year old in a internet forum.
As i proofread, i thought i should add this. PROOFREAD YOUR POSTS. you'll seem like an intelligent human. [i stopped proofreading at around # 5... got some spanish to finish up then school.
OH I WILL!
Okay sweet! You win!!
