Today I got to class

[Qalbert]

that's weird it's almost like often is both subjective and contextual

I know right?

[Demosthenes]

But please feel free to start an argument on what it means.

[Chun Liroy]

I get my hair cut often.
How often?
Once a week.
WOW! That's pretty often! though you should not use often, it means everyday!

I go to work often throughout the week.
How often?
Twice a week.
WOW! You are almost unemployed! Though you should not use often, since it means the majority of the time!

[Titanss]

Really? Leave 5 minutes earlier? Glad you know what's up. Sleeping 5 hours a day, working full time, helping mother with bills, having papers due getting siblings ready for school and being a full time student myself. I'm sure those 5 minutes magically appeared. Between dropping my youngest brother off at middle school and driving 2.5 hours to get to class.

you are Will Smith in the pursuit of happiness

There was a point where I said often could mean a multitude of things.

Let's ignore you completely misinterpreting the word habitually, while you consistently don't see that the definition of often is "Majority of the time" last I checked 1/3 is not the majority or else blacks would not be a minority.

Pulling numbers out of my ass, 51% of people are women. Women are considered a minority. Since we are doing the analogy thing. "Minority" goes beyond numbers fyi.

[Qalbert]

actually the definition you posted doesn't say majority at all, just that it is frequent, or concurring many times.

[Qalbert]

so uh, good job shooting yourself in the foot?

Way to completely miss the argument because of a sarcastic joke at blacks expense. But it's ok.

[Brill Weave]

Someone still using retarded comparisons I see.

I'm like five years behind on internet argument etiquette

[Demosthenes]

LOL! I'm being a disturbance to the class day in and day out, don't drop me a letter grade!

At what point did I say everyday? Are you really this stupid?

I guess we have differing opinions of often.

Hmmm Demos, sure is retard in here. So tell me again where I said you were late everyday to class?

You're right, you didn't say it. You only affirmed it when I prodded.

[Chun Liroy]

Demos you are really fucking bad at picking up jokes and satire.

[Demosthenes]

[Chun Liroy]

LOL!

[Chun Liroy]

Oh wait, in case that wasn't clear, I was making direct satire of you.

[Demosthenes]

Which I questioned, then you affirmed and went into the definition of "often". Carry on with that front son.
