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 :)

Want to answer more questions in the Sexual Health and Reproduction category?
Maybe give some free advice about: General Sex Questions?
1) Write it in an essay and see if the teacher catches it. Or just type it in Google. Also, they are the ones who decide how to spell a word. Scroobius Pip feels that we should spell Phoenix P-H-E-O-N-I-X, regardless of what the Oxford English Dictionary tells us. I secretly agree with him.
2) Yes you should believe them, because whatever their answer, they've lied to you. If they are a liar, then they admitted to it. If they are not a liar, but say they are anyway, then they lied to you. The word compulsive does throw things off though...
3) I don't think so. How do you hold yourself hostage in the first place? It would be like saying you are holding yourself hostage until you meet your own demands. Plus, who is threatening suicide, the one being held hostage or the one holding the other hostage? If they both threaten suicide, then I don't see how it is still a hostage situation. I say no.

1.)The changes of a word in the dictionary to be spelled wrong is very slim,maybe impossible.
2.)Hmm interesting question.I'd guess yes, because they know they are one,but thats hard.
3.)No i dont believe thats an hostage situation lol but what do i know?

2}no not me.
3}Could be.If a person with multple personalities kills themselves will all of them die or just the one?

- 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?

Look at how the word is pronounced and compare that with the word you think is misspelled.
I wouldn't know
Not necessarily.
]
Dictionary: If you are too stupid to realize its spelled wrong then you have to live with not knowing if its spelled right.
Liar: No one admits they are a compulsive liar, so no. You do not.
Personality: It is still one person.
Try getting harder ones.

hmmm... i would say that true bordom has gotten the best of you guys. lol but
-try looking in another dictionary, but i dont think they are spelled wrong
-i guess youll just bever know, now will ya? just something to have to think about... truth or not? believe it or dont believe it?
-its all one person so i dont see how it would be, but hey who knows!

lol this reminds me of these things my friends were wondering.... why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway...If fire-fighters fight fire and crime fighters fight what do freedom fighters fight.... what exactly would happen if you shoved a D-Engine rocket in a wimpy 6inch tall model rocket used for A-Engines( we found that out the hard way) and are male balerina's called balerina's or are they some other name....
^^ Boredom got the best out of us =D

OK you are like me a lot.
-Look it up in another dictionary or like 12 so you can be sure.
-It's a oximoron (sp?) (well it's sorta one). You can never know the truth for this one. *Darts eyes around the room.
-No.
]
Lol.
-I don't think the dictionary would have any misspelled words, but if you have any doubts, look at another one.
-If I was a compulsive liar, I think I would still say no, but if I didn't, I'd be telling the truth.
-I don't think so, it's just one of his/her personalities.
Hope I helped!

(this is his girlfriend) lol omg you toaly sound like me well for 1. dictionary's usaly arent wrong but if they are check anouther one...for 2. you probly shouldnt belive them and if they are telling the truth then it is his own damn fault. and for the last one wow tha tis confusing...... in the persons mind i guess it would be counted as a hostiage situation as long as the ohter personalites didnt wanna die but if they did wanna die then it wouldnt be hope i help if you have any more questions leave them in my inbox(foreverdreaming)

1. Because there is more than one dictionary.
Spelling is bullshit, though.
2. Classic Paradox, you cant say.
This sentence is false
3. Nope. Since the multiple personalities exist within one person.
