Is altitude a factor?

[Baphomet]

THE FUCKING LANGUAGE HAS DIFFERENT WORDS WITH DIFFERENT MEANINGS FOR A REASON. MISUSE IRONIC AND I WILL FUCKING HUNT YOU DOWN

Irregardless, the point of language is to communicate information. If you ask most any person what the altitude of the mile high city is, they will have a general idea, because the question has a context, and the reference point of sea level is assumed in that context.

Language nazis are a dying breed, which is a good thing, in a language that is evolving all the time. If it wasn't, we'd still all be speaking old english.

Pete full of shit and he knows it. Said that with his team's goal in mind. Altitude a huge factor. Huge. Hope team leaves thursday to acclimate.

Bear cut the semantics debate. You wasted a lot of time trying to be cute. We all know what a complete waste of time this was, and you came off looking like a bigger bonio than we already see you ass.

I hope you fall down a mountain.

Fall?

If it "weren't," you fucking clod

Of course the poont of language is to communicate information. But we have established and mutually/generally understood and accepted rules in order to minimize misunderstanding. Taking two words with two separate meanings and deciding to conflate both meanings into just one reduces clarity and increases the likelihood of misunderstanding. It's like people who use ironic for sardonic and sarcastic, even though all three have separate meanings that help make the fucking language so rich and interesting in addition to being clear.

And of course language evolves. But when it evolves too quickly, you get results like that electronic pidgin crap that you see on twitter feeds that screams "I'm fucking lazy and didn't listen in English class!!1!" Evolution for the sake of clarity is one thing; evolution for the sake of laziness is quite another thing, and is deserving of ridicule and correction.

tl;dr fuck off

So all that, and you didn't even catch Irregardless, which isn't a word according to many language nazis, I even put it in bold for you as a hint.

@BearsWiin has been around a long time. Guarantee he caught irregardless but it's a mute poont because he realized you were using it ironically.

ALTITUDE IS NEVER A FACTOR IN A FUCKING FOOTBALL GAME BECAUSE FOOTBALL IS PLAYED ON A FUCKING FIELD ON THE GROUND AND NOT UP IN THE FUCKING AIR SOMEWHERE

Main Difference – Altitude vs. Elevation

It isn't called elevation sickness

Oh, and
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/altitude
"The absolute height of a location, usually measured from sea level."  
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/elevation
"The distance of a celestial object above the horizon, or the arc of a vertical circle intercepted between it and the horizon; altitude."

Yes I'm quoting wikionary, you can research the etymology of both words and they have had a similar meaning for hundreds of years.

Take your ignant bearded cunt back to Dawgman.

Altitude is an issue for people who aren't in great shape like you.

Because everything on the internet is true. Fucking boof.

Attitude is definitely a factor. Our players need to march right into Provo with a positive attitude, or thei'yre gonna have a long day. I mean, let's face it, the altitude is going to be a major challenge for the Huskys, so they don't need to be making it worse by not having a good attitude about it.

That must be why the captain always announces the airplane's cruising altitude.

When is the last time they said cruising elevation?

The pilot says cruising altitude because that's the term you use when you're in the fucking air. Elevation is when you're on the fucking ground.

When people started flying instead of being on the fucking ground all the fucking time, the language needed to evolve to differentiate between the two.
