      And?

      edit: I think this is probably the question that came across as combative, so I apologize. I would point out that the American in the screenshot did not say America wrote the first dictionary, just the dictionary, and the screenshot cuts out all context to what was being replied to so do we know it’s incorrect? In America, America wrote the dictionary, and this is a world instance. (I actually would not use the word “America” here, but rather “the US”, but I am matching the phrasing in the post title that America wrote the dictionary)

          When did anyone, including the guy screenshotted, say anything about the first dictionary?

            This is a lighthearted community and this post is pretty trivial in the scheme of things; yet you’re being needlessly rude and argumentative. That behaviour is not welcome here. This is your warning, if you break the rules again you will be banned. The community rules and lemmy’s code of conduct are in the sidebar.

              I’m not being rude or argumentative, I’m just relaxing on a Saturday morning and communicating by asking questions. Are questions rude and argumentative?

                  I don’t consider my comments combative at all. Tone is hard to read through text, perhaps my tone is just too relaxed and overly familiar? My questions are light hearted and intended to foster discussion. Questions are better for inviting discussion than statements, in my opinion.

                If not engaging with you any further. I’d far rather enjoy a glass a wine on this sunny Saturday evening and watch the tennis semi finals (Coco Guaff just made her first masters 1000 final!!)

                Read the rules in the sidebar. I clearly explain the difference between respectful discussion and bad faith arguments. Don’t participate in this community again unless you follow the rules.

                  You go ahead and enjoy your wine, I promise I won’t respond to any further comments on this post as I find it disappointing that a community based around calling out stupidity can’t discuss some light hearted pushback against the logic in the post. Have a great Sunday as well!
