  Did you learn how to debate in school (or elsewhere)?

  last night i was taking another look at the term "dialectics":.

  the art of investigating or discussing the truth of opinions: discussion; debate; logical reasoning; etc.. the dialectical method is, at base, a discourse between two or more people holding different points of view about a subject but wishing to establish the truth through reasoned arguments.. while i intend to do further research on my own, what is your own experience regarding preparation for debate, the do's and don'ts, maintaining your cool, .

  i ask, in part, because i observe that some online debaters present facts and figures and use sound reasoning while maintaining their decorum; many do not.. thank you..

  Off to work -- a good day to all.

  Be kind to one another, even when one says tomato and the other says tomato.

  Thanks, Tara -- I just realized I forgot the word but gave the definition! Knowing you, I knew you knew what I meant!

  Know what I mean?!?!?!?!?

  He just uses big words and long convoluted sentences to obfuscate and confuse rather than offer honest, understandable statements. -- punkofnice

  Thanks, punk.

  Relative to your great observation, I recently learned a new word that applies:

  Grandiloquence: A lofty, extravagantly colorful, pompous, or bombastic style, manner, or quality especially in language.

  Thanks, cofty and SBF:

  It was annoying! All pages were upside down. When trying to do a 180 degree fix, I was getting dizzy, all the pages of instructions being upside down. Then, one page on my own pc (not affected) I consulted said to simply do control / alt / four arrows.

  Much appreciated, all!!!

  Thanks, SBF:

  I read that someone's dog caused the problem by jumping on the keyboard. The student's hands running roughshod over the keys earlier may have done likewise.

  I tried reading it upside down -- all instructions on all pages were upside down. Was getting vertigo.

  Thanks again, OC!

  Had a little trouble understanding but learned that ctrl plus alt plus arrows would do it.

  Very grateful for quick response! Now the kids are back to work on their essays.

  Remember Lacey, OC -- the little girl with restaurant dreams? She's writing up another recipe now that helps use the thirty to thirty-five eggs she gathers daily on her farm. I just had four of her deviled eggs and had to stop myself from pigging out!
