Poll: Eggman or Robotnik?

[The Great JT]

I grew up on his name being Dr. Ivo Robotnik, so I remain calling him Dr. Robotnik.

Plus it's easier to insult the bad guy that way. What can you come up with for "Eggman?" Probably nothing. Robotnik, let's see you have "Robuttnik," "Robodick," "Retardnik," the list goes on.

 

[Kinguendo]

The defintion says "round OR oval", a difference between the two clear enough to need seperate mention in its definition. As I said, there are round spherical eggs and there are rounded oval eggs. Eggmans shape is that of an oval egg and so he is not the round egg as stated in the definition, he is physically attributed to the oval one!

Will nothing convince you that round has more than one definition?

Each of those has multiple definitions of round, and all have at least one which applies to eggs.

Oh, I know that round has more than one definition and more than one application... However, I showed YOU the definition of EGG and it stated a clear difference between ROUND eggs and OVAL eggs!

These definitions of round and oval are for lamens terms (as most people think of circles when round is mentioned), the literal, mathmatical and geometirical definition of round can include eggs, your original argument was that eggman cannot be called round. We have all proven time and time again that he can. All the other stuff you have thrown in is pointless and outside the elements of your original claim.

His physical shape is attributed to the Oval egg... by its very definition that is NOT an round EGG! What you are attempting to do is change the definition of the word now, which is quite absurd.

As I have said, the difference is stated by its definition and supported by Stephen Fry.

Ovals are round objects by definition too. I didnt change the definition of anything. I simply argued that eggs are round. You quite clearly dont understand that there is a criteria to class an object as round and eggs meet those criteria.

Well, you clearly are trying to change the definition of a word... that word being "EGG"! See the definition makes a clear distinction between "oval" eggs and "round" eggs... as we all know there is the generic "oval" shaped egg and there are also "spherical" eggs... in the definition "oval" remains "oval" and "spherical" becomes "round".

Your argument now lies with a dictionary and the definition of "EGG", if you are to continue it.
