    ‘This just in, new evidence suggests that Tolkien’s working title for ‘The Lord of the Rings’ was ‘Guy With Rings Wants to Conquer the World’. According to gmtom - this is what we should call ‘The Lord of the Rings’ from now on, because it’s the original name.’

    Edit: stop

      Strawman argument. I’m litterally just saying that you can’t argue in favour of aluminum by saying its the original name, when aluminum is the original. It’s not even about which name is “”“correct”“” it’s just about using factually information.

          Yes it is, you’re constructing an argument that im not making and then arguing against that instead of what im actually saying. It’s actually textbook strawman.

            No, actually, but you clearly have very poor reading comprehension so it doesn’t seem like I’ll be getting through to you.

            Just know, when you use terms like strawman incorrectly you look fucking stupid.

              Okay, whatever you need to tell yourself little buddy.

              If ‘winning’ internet arguments is that important to you can go ahead and chalk this one up as a win if that makes you feel better about yourself. 😉

                Projection, also imagine defaulting to this because you had your logic thrown in your face. Pathetic, this has nothing to do with ‘winning’ — it has everything to do with you just being wrong.

                  Lmao what logic did you throw in my face?

                  You didn’t even address my point? You litterally just made up a completely different point and argued against that instead, because you only care about winning an argument and you couldn’t do that since my point was very obviously correct.

                  Alumium is factually the original name. You can’t say that then say Americans use Aluminum because it’s the original name, because its not the original name, alumium is. That’s just basic logic. A statement of fact that you can’t argue against. But by all means feel free to make up a different argument that you can argue against little guy.

                    Your point - the working title is the original name.

                    My point - take anything with a title that may have had a working title, apply your logic to it.

                    None of your words matter ‘little guy’, go back to Reddit.
