Semantics, the trolls last resort.

Eric Stevens
You don't understand the meaning of semantics, either.

I love it when you illiterate trolls tell me that I don't understand something.

Eric Stevens
You think semantics is about word meanings. Well, it isn't. Look it up.

Tony Cooper
That's news to me. "Semantics" is the study of word meanings and the meaning of words as they are used context.

Word meanings are but a small part. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantics

"Semantics (from Ancient Greek: ?????????? se-mantikós, "significant")[1][2] is the study of meaning. It focuses on the relation between signifiers, like words, phrases, signs, and symbols, and what they stand for, their denotation. Linguistic semantics is the study of meaning that is used for understanding human expression through language."

What Popinjay doesn't understand is that pointing out that a wrong word was chosen is not trolling.

It's trolling if you are attempting to correct the ultimate authority on the usage of the English language. --
