Oh that explains it! Mr. Sarcastic wins again :biggrin
That's half of what I had in mind when I spoke about the bored children, because you see them writhe and try the best they can to sit still but it's really just not the kind of world that they are made for.
Dogs are great! Dogs never make you feel silly for being free and fun, and they never hold any resentments if you do wrong by them. "Dogs are love"!
I feel like a con artist, manipulating my dog. But I need to control him. And he's not 100% controllable. You have to use every trick in the book. He is unmoved when I get angry sometimes. Though if I speak and move fast at the same time he seems to obey.
Details. You excel in splitting hairs. That's a trait of academics. I don't mind it sometimes but it can be unnecessarily pedantic sometimes.
It is just that I never saw a difference between cellar and basement before.
By "pedantic" do you mean a "bicycle trick"?
I almost laughed. Not bad.
Well, I wonder if it's not just a stereotype that you've formed, as you're showing that you find academics to be sometimes a thing that annoys you. I already know what's behind your comment about my attention to detail, and all I have to say about that is that my skill of logical reasoning is honed through my work as a computer programmer, therefore when I see logical fallacies it is often something that others have not seen already, and being unwilling to have their position challenged, thus they resist answering the questions that would expose them. Our wrestle is not with the flesh and blood though, clearly, as God is patient with them "not desiring" that any should perish, but that they might come to repentance. I don't agree with your assertion that the strictness of the truth is unnecessary. Jesus said "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life", which means that anyone diverging from the truth is also diverging from the Way and from Life, as also from God Himself who says so.
Oh, well it's been years and years since I have thought of people as being either having tertiary education or not, maybe it would help if I were to think about it more. I remember one tutor in particular whose spirit had a profound impact on me in the way that could be described as enlightening. I suppose it is true that without her words I would have not gained the views I had in those days, that led from one thing to another until I became who I am today. But it was a long time ago and only accounts for a few years of my life, whereas I think that the attention to detail (as humble soul identified it) comes from the work of computer programming. Yet what has that to do with basements and cellars? Only that in my mind is a picture of pipes running around walls and low ceilings, which is a basement, whereas someone is emerging from a beautifully finished brick-lined bunker with a bottle of his finest wine - that's a cellar. Clearly they are different rooms, but how did I get those two different name associations for them? It can't have been from my tertiary studies. Clearly as I have images in mind from things not seen in person, it must have been conveyed by televised media.
"Pedal antics" lol. Yes, not bad at all!
I think the terminology depends on where one is raised in the US.
That's a really interesting aspect too, how cultural language conventions impact the meaning of words. Dictionaries exist for that purpose: it is to establish an official rule of the meaning of words, to help resolve disputes:

So they list cellar as a synonym to basement, but they also show that it has its root in the function of the space "for storing food or coal". Whereas the word "basement" is the base layer of the building, so it is more about its place than its use.
It's a funny pun lol! Only, no it was only a little bother but the point I had made in the first place was made complete by it. Thanks for your help in "bringing it to a head"
If you are truly devoted to logic, you would be an atheist .
Quarantine is not perfect. Especially Melbourne. I don't think any one can make a perfect disease free quarantine though.
Can you explain your reasoning for that?
