OK, maybe you indeed know something about linguistics, but all you are posting here about it is trolling. I can't tell.

You can't mistake science for trolling. Poe's Law is about mistaking expressions of extremists beliefs for trolling.
Red wrote:Now you're trying to be provocative too, Teo?
No, I am just pointing the obvious facts.

And some university offers a double major in linguistics and some form of engineering?

It's obviously fiction, it's about a talking cat and cats can't talk.

Where? Copy-paste it here, please.

Well, almost like I expected, if I post that on
r/iamverysmart, the moderator deletes it after a few minutes.

Again, just because you don't understand why I'm right doesn't mean I'm trolling.

You can, because you know nothing about either.

Disregarding that none of what you wrote is a 'fact' it is easy to bring up facts to be provocative.

It's pretty common in schools in developed countries. I have no idea where you're from, but it probably isn't a very good country.

You are aware that Garfield doesn't talk, yes?

Look, @Red, you are behaving worse than Sunflowers here. Like Sunflowers, you made obviously wrong arguments in your first post here, and then, when I explain why those arguments are false, you start appealing to your anonymous authority. Remember, you, like Sunflowers, are anonymous here, and I have no way of verifying you've actually published any papers (and I linked you to one of the papers I published). Sunflowers at least tried to respond to my (and your) objections, you aren't even doing that. And I see way less reason to think you have studied linguistics than that Sunflowers has studied philosophy. And I also have much stronger reasons to think you are trolling than that Sunflowers was trolling (this nonsense with Garfield being an authority about linguistics, you previously having pretended that sound laws were laws in the legal sense of the word...). Continuing this conversation is very unlikely to be productive.

Typical Teo. Instead of admitting you're wrong, you pretend as though I don't actually believe what I'm saying. Nice projection.

So, does anybody here think Red knows something about linguistics? If you ask me, I am rather sure he is trolling. About a year ago, he pretended to think "sound law" refers to a law in the legal sense of the word, rather than scientific sense of the word. Now he is pretending to think Garfield is an authority about historical linguistics. And I have published some papers about onomastics (the part of linguistics that studies names), you can see one of my papers
in this PDF on page 70, and I can safely tell you what he is talking is not even wrong.

I have started a thread about "Wyoming" meaning "no state here" on a forum about Latin:

@teo123 See? Thread was banned because they think you're trolling in that you don't know that Wyoming means "No State Here."

That's not at all what happened. The first comment I got was:

That's not at all what happened. The first comment I got was:
The guy was congratulating someone who knows absolutely nothing about linguistics (you) for being skeptical about something (despite it being an obvious fact), he probably pitied your ignorance and just wanted to make you feel like you accomplished something.
Also, you're ignoring this:
brianpck was fed up with your stupidity and thought you were trolling when you proclaimed your ignorance of not knowing that Wyoming means 'No state here' in old Italian.
