Quote: Hercules Grytpype Thynne @ 16th March 2024, 11:42 PMI am at a complete loss to know why you took this attitude, and again I state it was absolutely nothing to with any rocket launch directly.
Fast-forward to the day of an upcoming UK election, and imagine this:
(Some guy with a name that rhymes with Softhouse): "Ha! The Tories said they'd win the election by a landslide, and Labour just humiliated them!"
(Some guy whose name rhymes with Twerk): "Pardon me sir, but the polls haven't even opened yet."
(Some guy with a name that rhymes with Softhouse): "I wasn't talking about this particular election! I was talking about past elections! I didn't even know there was an election today! You never even considered that possibility!"
(Everyone else): <heads explode>
Quote: Hercules Grytpype Thynne @ 16th March 2024, 11:42 PMAnd as for having a dig at your country, you shouldn't be so sensitive, because let's face it, most of that right on verbal diarrhoea comes from the USA.
Is this where I start making digs at your country?

You've gone to a lot of trouble there to prove nothing - we were talking about "rapid unscheduled disassembly" which was used in the US to described Musk's latest disaster.

Be careful ***thouse, you might choke on your "laughing" fit, and there's no effin' advantage at all.
Dear oh dear, talk about childish - somebody buy you a book of emojis?

"rapid unscheduled disassembly" = 9 syllables
"catastrophic self-disassembly" = 9 syllables
Are you no longer overly concerned about "the ridiculous and stupid gobbledygook verbose executive speak ... for the simple one word "explosion" that everybody would understand"?
I really don't know where you are trying to go with this or trying to prove - you just seem to want to dig your hole deeper and not make sense.
I simply posted ""Rapid unscheduled disassembly" is what occurred with Muskie's Space X rocket.", with NO mention of what or where or when, just highlighting the ridiculous executive speak for the much simpler "explosion".
But then you took it on yourself to castigate me by saying "It hasn't even launched yet.", (rattling ***thouse's cage on the way), but wouldn't accept that I was criticising the phrase, which had nothing to do with a specific launch.
And now, never wrong, you seem to want to drag on what is a lost cause - just give it up! As it is now very tiresome.

I'm making perfect sense, and you have changed course several times over the last four days.

Your first response was to paste a link to a post-launch story in an attempt to back up your original post. You then incorrectly stated that there had been more than three Starship launch failures. Next, you tried to reframe your original post as being solely related to a news report and claiming ignorance of the upcoming launch, while there is a zero percent chance that the news report wasn't focused on the upcoming launch. And then it was all about those nasty Yanks (African Yanks?) and their overly wordy term for an explosion, but I provided proof that such phrases predate Musk by decades and have British origins.

I am quite intelligent, but I am occasionally wrong. When I am wrong, I will readily admit it. About this subject, I am not wrong.
You say tomato.

Lets call the whole thing off.

Couldn't agree more - finding it very tiresome now, as I expect everyone (well, some) is.

They should just leave the poor girl alone and let her recuperate in her own time and come back when she is fully fit.
