i was just wondering about this with some friends the otherday:
-If a word in the dictionary were misspelled, how would we know?
--and
-If you ask someone if they're a compulsive liar and they answer yes, should you believe them?
--ohh also
-If a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is that a hostage situation?
thx and plz answer asap :)
- Well, who dictates how to spell a word? Who can make the final decision? Spelling more or less follows the majority rule. For example, in America, we spell the word "humor". In England, it's "humour". Neither are incorrect. And on that note, if a majority agrees, we can pretty much change how to spell a word. Why not? Society makes up new ones all the time. "Phat" is now in the dictionary. Hell, we can take the word "person" and spell it "zigguragtvbr" if we wanted. If enough people caught on, the spelling would eventually change to meet the majority.
- I don't know why you would just flat out ask someone that question, but it cannot be answered truthfully. Unless they say "maybe". It reminds me of this:
The following statement is false.
The preceding statement is true.
- If a person with multiple personalities threatened suicide, you could just wait it out until they switched personalities. Chances are, that other person inside wouldn't also want to kill themself.
Now, I have a question for you. If you had an exact clone of you (same age and everything), and you had sex with them, would it be considered gay sex, incest, masturbation, or a combination of the three?
