Prognostications, Hyperbole, and Facts

[darkbladed]

Yeah it is kinda funny that people whine over 40 bucks
Seriously that is what 5 or 6 hours of work at minimum wage for 2 months of enjoyment?

Its like buying a candy bar and not liking it and going to the counter threatening a lawsuit if you don't get your 85 cents back.

But yeah I totally agree, it is good to make suggestions, but never demands.

2 months of enjoyment

This made me giggle, as did the rest of your post.

US. But much of our sorry excuse for law comes from Great Britain.

That has to be THE most incorrect statement of the year, the British Legal System is nothing like the piece of crap you got out there. No Offense.
I mean Americans take each other to court for the stupidist things.

Some definitions... (EDIT, explanation, pardon me dirt) And an admittedly clumsy attempt to bump this thread.

From Wiktionary.

Prognostication: A statement about or prior knowledge of the future.

Example:
There are many who believe wholeheartedly in Nostradamus' many prognostications.

---------

Hyperbole: * When used as a literary device, hyperbole is an exaggeration that, while not intended to be taken literally, still describes a situation or image that is at least feasible or possible. Exaggeration that is considered impossible is called adynaton.

Examples: "I have been waiting for hours for the end of your 'short' coffee break." is a hyperbole while "I have been waiting for ages for the end of your 'short' coffee break." is an adynaton.

* This distinction is not always observed, even in textbooks.

-----------

Fact:
1. (archaic) Action; the realm of action.  
2. (obsolete except in set phrases) A wrongful or criminal deed.
3. (obsolete) Feat.
4. An honest observation.
5. Something actual as opposed to invented.
6. Something which has become real.
7. Something concrete used as a basis for further interpretation.
8. An objective consensus on a fundamental reality that has been agreed upon by a substantial number of people.
9. Information about a particular subject.

According to my original post in this thread..

What hybrazil is trying to say, I have no clue.

BUT...

it would seem he is in "fact" supporting my statements, and that ain't no hyperbole.
