kenny effin powers Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 hey guys, i'm not sure if you know this but "Confusion (from Latin confusĭo, -ōnis, noun of action from confundere "to pour together", or "to mingle together"[1] also "to confuse") is the state of being bewildered or unclear in one’s mind about something." wikepedia told me so, and ithout it i NEVER would have known that. This is a stupid game, that I won rounds ago, but we can keep playing if you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 i like how you thought you won something. why the hell did you feel it necessary to quote wikipedia on what it means to retire a number? to was just so dumb it required mocking. your responses just made it worse.

kenny effin powers Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 To give a recognized definition to the term. It's pretty simple. Just because you clearly understand the meaning of the term, it doesn't mean that all of the readers do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 it's pretty pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny effin powers Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 It's not pointless, like I said, it defines the term. Thats the point. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny effin powers Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Your responses were so painfully childish that I decided to try talking to you the way I speak with my 2nd grade class, you responded roughly the same as they do. Only major difference is that, unlike you, seem to have a grasp on basic grammar and punctuation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoted Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Oops, wrong troll...or maybe your both. "In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog), either accidentally[3][4] or with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[5] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[6]" -Wikipedia Your: inidcates possession or ownership You're: contraction of "you are" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 You'd think a teacher would know that; even a teacher of a "second grade class". I guess it's true what they say, "not everyone can do, but everyone can teach". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avelanch Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 It's not pointless, like I said, it defines the term. Thats the point. End of story. A term that didn't need defining because it was self evident. Or did you honestly think someone on a Hockey board didn't know what it meant for a number to be retired?

Or did you honestly think someone on a Hockey board didn't know what it meant for a number to be retired? How is it self evident? It doesn't match the definition of the word.

avelanch Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 The number is no longer working for the team, meaning it cannot be used anymore (since the number was the subject of the retirement); and besides that, we're on a sports board. I think you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't know what having someone's number retired means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
