Guest,

To the contrary, your posts and those of your apparent friends would lead us to believe that we have become a nation of illiterates possessing no analytical skills whatsoever...


What exactly is there to analyze?  The depth of the angst in your caterwauling?

Guest,

Congratulations on your improved diction and/or find of a thesaurus...may the gods bless and we continue to be so fortunate.  With regard to your question regarding analysis, I suspect the problem you are facing, judging from your last dozen or so posts, lies in your confusion and inability to discern the difference between analysis and unsupported assumption and assertion.

Actually, from Merriam-Webster:

diction:  choice of words especially with regard to correctness, clearness, or effectiveness

Who's the stupid SOB now?  It is amazing you still bother to post here.

Had you finished the statement out of that dictionary you would have seen that it is defined as" VOCAL expression: ENUNCIATION & PRONUNCIATION.  And you are right I should not have called you a stupid SOB, ignorant bastard would have been more correct.

Grow up.

"Diction" applies to both the spoken and written word. Here is Britannica's more lengthy description and the example fragment is from a writer:

----
Choice of words, especially with regard to correctness, clearness, or effectiveness. Any of the four generally accepted levels of diction—formal, informal, colloquial, or slang—may be correct in a particular context but incorrect in another or when mixed unintentionally. Most ideas have a number of alternate words that the writer can select to suit his purposes. “Children, …

Hey Marty, I see why the nose on that hound you have as your picture is the most prominent thing in the frame - you are always sticking it in other people's business.

Bombastic yes, but liar?  Why such an uprovoked, baseless and scurrilous attack from such a lovable hound?

Because you are not stupid. You looked it up and wrongly implied that the verbal usage of the word was a concatenation purposely left out. It wasn't.

Wrong again (S)marty.  I simply said that vocabulary was more appropriate in the context in which he used the word diction.  And it is.  And I didn't have to look it up to know that.

Here is what was said several posts ago and how you objected and implicitly you looked up the MW definition and pretended it was a part of the prior definition. Notice the verbal usage of "diction" is last.  Review your own words:

You responded after clearly looking up the definition:

Marty if you are going to stick your large snout into other peoples' arguments, please stick it in far enough to get to the root of the controversy.  Now I ask you, wouldn't vocabulary be more appropriate than diction in the above statement?

Not at all. After looking up both "diction" and "vocabulary", "diction" is at least as good a choice, especially since I thought you arranged the referenced words well. "Vocabulary" would be more correct if the criticism had been that you merely obtained a list of words.

I will leave the validity and accuracy of the polygraph alone for now.  My concern is that some of you posting on here are applying for jobs in law enforcment and this is a position that requires so much integrity, especially the FBI, yet you so willingly lie and cheat in attempts to pass the requirements for this postion.  This really scares me, it seems as though you are saying you have justification because you feel you are qualified for this position so what you are doing is ok.  What happens when it is time to go after a suspect and you cant get the evidence you think you need, do you  then make the decision to fabricate that evidence or lie about something because you think it is right.  I pity the agency that hires you and the suspects you unjustly put away because you thought they were guilty.
