[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7564171, member: 6795602"] [MENTION=6880599]ClaytonCross[/MENTION] I'm going to finish replying to your post above and I will mention clear a few more times. I then will never mention it again. If you want the last word on that matter you are welcome to have it but I'm not going to continue to talk about something that both of us agree doesn't really matter for the discussion. I use "clear marble" as a[B] term[/B] for a transparent colorless marble. I would never use clear to talk about a transparent yellow marble because to me "clear marble" is a [B]term[/B] that refers to a specific kind of marble (transparent and colorless). I understand that clear can also be synonymous transparent and that you are simply pointing out that not all transparent marbles are colorless. However, that doesn't mean I'm wrong for using the phrase "clear marble" as a [B]term[/B] that's more specific than the meanings of it's words would otherwise indicate. That said, this doesn't make you wrong either, it just means I'm using "clear marble" as a [B]term[/B] and you are not. I realized you were using the phrase "clear marble" differently than I was as soon as you complained about clear not being a color. That's why I immediately changed my example to colorless instead of clear so that we could avoid an argument about the meaning of clear. However, calling me wrong about my use of the phrase "clear marble" does prompt me to explain that I am using "clear marble" as a term. That's why everytime you accused me of being wrong about it that I answered rather simply with things like "colorless marbles are referred to as clear". And that's why everytime you said I was wrong on this I would again say something similar.. I hope you can accept that and not start on a tangent argument about whether "clear marble" can be used as a term that means something more specific than the words that make up the term. [/QUOTE]
