So what? It still says ausrotten and it's the same passage with the same meaning of destruction.Yeah I read it. You used an old version of it, 1500's if I recall, not exactly as close as 20th century translation, is it?
Except every single one posted here did.None of the old german dictionaries say the it is exclusively for destruction.
I am not asking you to provide evidence you don't have.I'm not going to look for a 16th century botanical guide in german that explicitly uses it for uprooting and replanting.
All I want from you is the evidence that you claimed you have (or at least know of).
You've mentioned it in the beginning, but you still haven't shown it:
Here is it again. Where are these examples?In the past ausrotten only meant to uproot, and the other meaning, the destruction or vernichting slowly also gained traction since the 18th century and more examples of it being used that way were in 1930s.
Why? Did you misremember? Did you look and find out it was only talking about weeds? Were you just lying?
What made you say this? Why won't you ever give me a straight answer on this?
Also why won't you look for botanical guides? Why are you so sure of an argument that you never properly researched?
And if not you, is there no other denier that did his homework on this, that can provide a proper source?
Is that what deniers are? People that just unquestionably keep repeating the same old memes without investigating them?
Weren't you supposed to be the serious skeptics in a world of sheep?
Don't you want convince people? You're not gonna convince a native speaker on this without solid evidence.
What bearing does that have on the German word? That's all I care about. I'm not relying on any English translation but I'm looking at the original German sources.The fact that you are not willing to acknowledge the old meaning of the english word exterminate should convince any english speaker with any inch of remaining doubt about your honesty on this subject.
There was some weird unfounded and obviously retarded claim that exterminate and ausrotten develop in parallel. Even though they're different words, with a different origin, different history, that aren't even interchangeable in all contexts (claiming otherwise would defeat YOUR own argument).
Was that supposed to be some big gotcha? My bad I couldn't tell because it was so stupid.
