Do you have another definition of the word "discussion"?
The only way I can describe discussion is that it's discussing stuff, but note that MS probably wouldn't have named this forum Debate Board.

Well, I looked it up in several dictionaries and that is not what it said. However, no matter which of our definitions is/are (I'm not sure if it is "is" or "are") right, this technically is a discussion now.

In Dutch (which is actually my language) are the same two words: "discussie" and "debat", but what's the difference between those two words?

BB, I did not look it up in a dictionary, so.. do your dictionaries say that just telling something is a discussion?

Yes, I agree, it's a discussion now. Not one about languages, but one about discussions. (Since this is a discussion board, it shouldn't be a big problem though :lol: )

Maybe I don't know the definitions correctly of some of the words inside the defintions of discussion. And, looking more closely, by some of the definitions, you're right. But technically, it is partually a discussion by these definitions, for some users have responded to each other. But mainly, it isn't a discussion by these definitions.

In English discussion can also mean talking about stuff.

By some definitions, yes. Some defintions say this is a discussion, some say this isn't.

Life is confusing. I didn't look it up yet, and until I do, I'll believe what the two of you say. :)

OK. This discussion is over. Back to the original, by some definitions, discussion on this topic.

I'm learning to Sp33k 1337 thanks to its
mention on this forum, but I'm still a n00b!

When I was younger (decades ago) I did
well in French and Spanish classes, but
now it has all been forgotten, and currently
I only speak English.
