@NHooser47@Freedomisdead31@JayDyer@megievalist He didn’t make a scholarly claim, he used an existing one, and you’re disregarding it purely on the incorrect pronounciation of the scholars surname.
There’s a reason God sent books and not videos.
Control your pride.
@NHooser47@Freedomisdead31@JayDyer@megievalist Cool, so prior empirical academic discussions is where you draw the line between knowledgable understanding and elementary understanding of a topic.
Fuck off
@NHooser47@Freedomisdead31@JayDyer@megievalist If I’m well-read on John Wilkes Booth, i’d use my own knowledge to assume the correct pronunciation. Otherwise called visual vs auditory learning.
Would I therefore have an elementary understanding of the topic?
I just granted it to be nice,
comparing a well-known name like the first ever President George Washington with Gabriel Biel a philosopher from the 1400s was disingenuous.
Jesus’ name having various translations is an example of a name where you wouldn’t be able to respond “actually it’s pronounced..”
Just stop
@NHooser47@Freedomisdead31@JayDyer@megievalist Sure
Now apply it to the name Jesus Christ.
What was the correct pronunciation of his name, when he lived?
I expect an answer that is absolute.
@NHooser47@Freedomisdead31@JayDyer@megievalist Here in Australia we use a broad A sound when pronouncing words
Dance - darnce
Chance - charnce
Bath - Barth
Tomatoes - tomartoes
Etc
Criticising someone for their pronounciation of a word/name and disregarding their entire take is as low iq as it gets
Apple has removed Lebanese village names in Southern Lebanon.
As Israel invades, they are already setting the state to justify occupation.
I’ve never seen something like this.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
