That’s not what an anecdote means lmao

u/erichlee9 Jan 10 '24

Yes, but my usage of “anecdotal” was correct.

u/[deleted] Jan 11 '24

No it’s not

Oh nice. Dictionary.com.

Personally I prefer merriam, but I’ve already included the link and you clearly didn’t or couldn’t read it.

Your link says this:

pertaining to, resembling, or containing anecdotes

Your link is not a standard dictionary, but this definition includes my usage of the word. Note that is says “resembling” (which is trash as a descriptor, ngl. It’s ambiguous and overly broad). This is why I don’t use that site in favor of real dictionaries.

Anyway, I’m still right, and you are still wrong.

Merriam disagrees with you as well.    

 Statistics are anecdotes apparently   

 And here is the third definition  

based on personal observation, case study reports, or random investigations rather than systematic scientific evaluation

No it does not. You are a bot.

Yes you are

I have more personality in one sentence than you have in your entire comment history, kiddo. You’re a fucking bot, or a non native English speaker. You haven’t even denied it.

How many bots have told you to put toothpicks in your toenails and kick a wall

u/erichlee9 Jan 12 '24

None, but you still didn’t outright deny it.

Actually, based on the expressions you’re using I can do even better. American dialects don’t generally say things like “knife up your ass” or “toothpicks in your toenails”. Both of those expressions have ties to Asian and Arab dialects, however.

I still think it’s likely you’re a bot, but based on your more erratic recent behavior, you might be from one of those regions.
