regressing, not degrading.

The context is almost identical. Both refer to a state that has deteriorated over time. You can use these words interchangably, but it's not an error.

Mwerp: Considering that the situation has already solved itself here, you're only digging yourself in deeper by continuing to menstruate about this. You would've dropped it a while ago if you'd read my posts in other topics and believed what was logically sound, instead of what you wanted to believe.

Wrong.

to "degrade" is to make look worse.
to "regress" is to take back to a lower state.

Now, is a high schooler/middle schooler/whatever he is gonna DEGRADE to third grade? REGRESS perhaps, RETURN maybe, but not DEGRADE. Please, if you're going to make others look stupid, at least do it correctly.

Speaking of trying to make others look like an idiot and proving yourself to be one...

You know how dictionaries work, right? The first defenitions given are the most common uses of that word?

In other words, you are wrong. Degrade is a synonym for regress.

This is starting to get really gay

Lahral, I have gone straight to synth, through PM, but he hasn't responded yet. I can't talk to him online or anything either.

Okay now that it seems TC has stopped, let's just shut up and get on with ourselves?

Yeah, God forbid you do the easy thing for everyone and just ignore people.

Normally I wouldn't be this rude, but quite frankly, I'm still angry at you in particular.

I thought you didn't care about people on the internet and that you won't get mad just because of people on the internet flame you and give you a taste of reality?

owned

[Mwerp]

Oh come on guys.
Give him a break.
He quit.
That's a fine alternative for me.

[SuperGreenX]

This thread is hilarious!

Try reading some other posts to find the answer to that question.

Allow me to suggest this thread. I'm afraid you don't even know what the 'reality' is.

You people are far too quick with the word 'owned'. You should at least be sure that you're not jumping to undue conclusions before you throw it around.

Mwerp: And I sure as hell don't need YOUR help in taking care of myself. Since I'm working as an equal now instead of some punk flamer, arguments like this pathetic display fall very easily. YOU leave me ALONE.

[Mwerp]

..beg your pardon? What are you referring to?

Pardon.

Definition.

Happy?

Everyone is allowed a typo every now and again. I still can't spell necessary without having to double check. Oh well, it was never my strong point.

But I won't go getting your name wrong anytime soon, lest it's a straight up typo.

Mwerp: How many times to I have to ask you to spell my name right? Honestly, learn to read.
