- byyyy 3y agoBirds don't have paws because they aren't quadrupeds according to websters. Bats walk on fours. They are quadrupeds therefore they have paws according to Merriam Webster. Why don't you address the point I brought up? I already completely understand your definition no need to reiterate it. However, there is a clear disconnect between your definition of paw and the definition from Merriam Webster. Please address it.

- foobarbecue 3y agoYou're very right about that; my mistake. It means four feet, not four legs.

- maxbond 3y agoThis subthread is a flamewar that died down. Please don't rekindle it. The point has been made to death, and making it again but more insulting makes it more difficult for people who might disagree to consider the perspective, because they have to filter out their feelings about being insulted - a weighty task - in order to begin considering it, let alone accepting it.
- irthomasthomas 3y agoThis was amazing. Two men and an LLM arguing about facts. 2 Minutes on google scholar proved to me that bats are quadrupeds (with paws). https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Quadruped%20bat https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=Quadruped%20bat
- byyyy 3y agoI'm ok with your language. I found the "competent in English" rather immature and juvenile, but it's not a big deal and really minor. I also understand that you might not realize how heated this sub thread was as the other guy deleted half his posts and flagged one of mine (therefore possibly making it invisible to you). So adding a little heat to something that looks tame isn't a big deal. I won't continue the flame war but I will continue the discussion. It's not my interpretation. It's about the interpretation by Merriam Webster. I believe not only is it your interpretation that is incorrect when compared to official sources, but you didn't fully read the official definition either. The eagle is not a quadruped. The definition in Merriam Webster says it has to be on a quadruped for it to be a paw. Hence your example is completely irrelevant. Please correct your mistake.
- foobarbecue 3y agoI didn't delete any posts, nor did I flag or downvote any of yours. I actually resurrected one of yours (vouched) so that I could reply to it.
