Poll: Eggman or Robotnik?

[Kinguendo]

If a person is "rather" intelligent they could be a genius. It's literacy rather and slightly are too different words.

here is that sites definition of circle:

1. A plane curve everywhere equidistant from a given fixed point, the center.

Simply what you copied and pasted from the first meaning of round just said differently. Even if you look at the accompanying sentence for a in round which is "a round ball" a ball is a sphere which is a 3D circle.

Eggs are still round my friend

Ah my mistake in putting "slightly", as I said a day without sleep...

BUT as you seem to be quite the fan of the written word, I would just like to bring to your attention the word "equidistant"... The curvature of an egg is not equally distant from the centre!

I believe that we are done here, and you have learnt something new... Yay for you, I however have gained nothing other than more sleep deprivation!

I believe that you are ignorant in the face of your peers and refuse to see the countless evidence posted by myself and saikanoto and take one line from one page as entire fact. Despite the countless arguments from the same source (and others) that state otherwise.

Equidistant is used to describe equal distance on all sides and dimensions - this is true for cirles and balls, this is not true for all round objects. You would describe a cylinder as round - but it is not equidistant.

Ergo you have learned something but refuse to acknowledge it.

Still it is fun.

Go sleep ^_^

Actually I didnt come back to this one line... you did, now that I brought to your attention that you were wrong you dont like it and are no longer attmepting to debate rather call me ignorant to the masses. If I went to a mental institute and EVERYONE there thought they were John Trevolta I wouldnt have to concede that they were John Trevolta!

 

[Kinguendo]

Yeah... thats not gonna fly here... pretty much everyone has a brain!

Look at both links I provided also look at how far you had to scroll down before you got to a definition so vague you could use it... now you can go ahead and administer yourself a couple of *palmface*s! XD

Huh?

1. How does having to scroll down for the definition make any difference?

2. How is stating that round is a synonym for curved vague?

From http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/round

7. free from angularity; consisting of full, curved lines or shapes,

From http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/round

3. Lacking sharp angles; having gentle curves.

From http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define_b.asp?key=68741&dict=CALD

Round
adjective
shaped like a ball or circle, or curved:
Tennis balls and oranges are round.
a round hole/stone/table/window
a round face
round eyes

Simply that the length of time that you had to scroll down to find a definition which you could link to an egg rather than taking any of the first couple of dozen definitions was ridiculous!!!

BUT if you want to continue being truly ignorant of the shape of an egg then please continue, even though I truly believe that you are stubborn and simply dont want to admit defeat to a guy who hasnt slept in over 24 hours but you will actually take from this that an egg is NOT round!

You continually throw around the same arguments, equidistant and the fact you havent slept in 24 hours and how the definitions are too far down the page, this implies that your reasoning skills are impaired. I believe you have simply run out of arguments and are being stubborn.

Not at all, I am clearly clarifying that which he did not understand and why he may annoyed about being wrong.

Also, I shouldnt have to raise a NEW argument when I am already right... Just because YOU claim that I am stubborn does not mean that I am and just because there are 2 of you does not mean that I am stubborn, it simply means that the 2 of you are idiots!

This one line is the only argument that supports your claim. It simply states that round can be used to describe perfect circles or perfectly round objects, not that it is it's only use.

I am very far from an idiot. I simply understand the meaning of the word round, sans corners.

I called you stubborn because your did first

 

[Skeleon]

Round =/= circular.
Not all round shapes are circles, though all circles are round.

 

[Murlin]

the french call him Robotnik so it's a bad name (not because of the french but because they translate stuff like s#$%t

I didnt call you stubborn ever and you called me ignorant first! If we are going to be calling each other words that the other said first then this is truly a bigger waste of MY time than I have already deemed it to be.

And no, simply no... just look again at the evidence I put forward.

 

[BolognaBaloney]

Robotnik, it gives it a little more dignity.

 

[Trivun]

I've been into Sonic since I was a little kid, I remember playing the original games, and I had Sonic 3 and Knuckles on PC (still have somewhere, I think, hidden in the depths of my old CD collection). But even so, I prefer Eggman. Robotnik is okay, but Eggman is better. Yes, I'm a Sonic purist, but I still prefer Eggman.

 

[RobCoxxy]

Dr. Eggman, after all he is round and egg-ish

...?

Since when are eggs round?

Since when are they Not round?

Since they were Oval.

Oh come on, you guys are just splitting hairs here.

 

[aruseusx]

Robotnik hands down. It sound more villainous. Eggman sounds like hes doing experiments to make humans breed the same way birds do.

 

[Kinguendo]

Admittadley it doesnt matter and it is splitting hairs... but that doesnt make it round.

 

[Jay Cee]

Neither.
The series needs to end, NOW!

Sonic is a rabid cash-cow creature which is being milked by Sega. A character like this works when it's more established e.g Mario, but there just aren't enough people left in Sonics' hardcore fanbase.

But I am glad that most of his ravenous buddies have gone away.

 

[Gerazzi]

I'm going to pretend you guys did not just have three paragraphs worth of argument about the shape of an egg.

Eggman, because it's hilarious, I say we get him a Professor Walrus.

Dr. Robotnik sounds cooler though, which he is not.

I have and again I will stick by my proof that the accomanying sentence describes a perfect spherical shape in which your argument is true! In all other examples and definitions outside of this your argument is false.

Time and time again you have been disproven that any object outside "equidistant" proportions is round.

I don't think you realise how incredibly stupid you're appearing to everyone. Seriously, if it wasn't enough that you're being an absolute tool about the whole thing, you're also wrong, plain and simple.

Firstly when a dictionary has multiple definitions of a word, they are all weighted evenly. You can't say one definition is any less correct than another.
Secondly, you're the only one arguing for your point of view for a reason. Round is an adjective, its used to describe things that are round, round being the opposite to square, or potentially angular.

Just chuck it in and get some sleep, if you're not a complete lost cause then you'll realise you're stupidity in the morning.

 

[Bigsmith]

Dr robotnik is round, has very short legs and in some cases appeares with a robotic arm (if not all the time), where as Dr Eggman, has long leggs an Egg shaped body and no robtic arm.

 

[General Ken8]

I'd say Robotnik, because for Americans, he didn't start getting called Eggman until the first gameboy advance sonic game, and as a kid i always knew him as Robotnik

Ugh, thats absolute bull-sh*t. Every point that you brought up I disproved and YOU moved on to something else then we got to the part where you ditched it and called me ignorant.

Oh and remember when you said that I said you were stubborn first and you were wrong? And now you ditched that and moved to something else straight away? Hahaha, good times that happened one comment ago.

Also, have you heard of a show called QI? Have you seen the episode where Stephen Fry talks about Christopher Columbus? And how he didnt think the Earth was ROUND, he thought it was EGG SHAPED? You see that there, how round and egg shaped are clear differences to Stephen Fry? A man of much greater intellect than (I dare say) anyone on this thread!

 

[undyingdh777]

Dr. Robotnik, because that's who he was when Sonic was good, and so he shall remain.

No, you are right when they have different definitions they are all given the same amount of credit when due. However, all the definitions of a word dont apply to EVERY INDIVIDUAL THING!
