![]() You probably shouldn't post anymore either since you were wrong about both the founding fathers and Obama's upbringing (no father, middle class).

from your webster.com link: "In the 19th century the transitive sense (1a) was prescribed; the intransitive <I graduated from college> was condemned. The intransitive prevailed nonetheless, and today it is the sense likely to be prescribed and the newer transitive sense (1b) <she graduated high school> the one condemned. All three are standard. The intransitive is currently the most common, the new transitive the least common." from YOUR dictionary.reference.com link: "In the sense “to receive a degree or diploma” graduate followed by from is the most common construction today: Her daughter graduated from Yale in 1981. The passive form was graduated from, formerly insisted upon as the only correct pattern, has decreased in use and occurs infrequently today: My husband was graduated from West Point last year. Even though it is condemned by some as nonstandard, the use of graduate as a transitive verb meaning “to receive a degree or diploma from” is increasing in frequency in both speech and writing: The twins graduated high school in 1974." These pieces of evidence YOU POSTED, are implicitly saying (although crystal clear), "It's still not correct, and only morons who can't grasp the old versions use it, but since dictionaries evolve we sorta gotta accept it." You fail at reading comprehension, very very badly. Standard does not mean correct. Does your dictionary have lol, omg, and gtfo? All real words now huh? Ever play scrabble? Isn't Homer Simpson's "doh" technically "a word" now. Just because you use dumbed-down language doesn't make it any more correct than what is and ain't real. See anyone can sound like a moron under your rule set. For this whole thread you are #14 and I am #21: [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Way to embarrass yourself horribly, then get mentally dominated. Anyone got the Willy Wonka "You lose, good day sir!" .gif? I know my posts are long and well thought out (this shit takes me under 5 min a pop). I am getting tired running circles around your troglodytic brain. My last offering of an olive branch was more like begging you to sign a formal surrender. But I am serious, wanna play some EQ together? I enjoy your ability to keep trying, despite all odds, logic, and mental resistance pushing against you. No joke though, we should toast some mobs. Well? What do you say? | |||

Both old versions are accepted... read YOUR links. Someday, maybe someday, you will proclaim "I graduated college" and it will be accepted. In the future your like omg totally version could be totally cool and accepted amirite? ttyl rofl WTB Potus Nonsense Dictionary I have never seen someone more wrong in my whole life. I am sorry Potus, the argument has lost its luster. I thought there was a glimmer, a slight chance you might actually admit you need to learn something and embrace self-improvement. Being wrong is one of the best ways to learn. Embrace it. Never posting near you again, /tear. | ||||

![]() What the hell does linguistics have to do with this thread anyway...
Potus tried to change the subject to whatever he teaches in public middle school (govt history?) to make himself look smart. Toehammer responds trying to change the subject to linguistics. Both were completely irrelevant to thread. | ||
