How you gonna quibble over semantics then tell them off for semantic interrogation?

Something being pregnant for 75% of its life is pretty constant.

it's not 75% of their lives, either. they're not able to breed when they're calves.

Senor Semantics does it again!

[-] core@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 4 days ago

75% isn't semantics. it's a statistic.

You just said it wasn't 75%.

And quibbling over what constitutes 'most of' something's life is semantics. I reckon plenty of folks would view anything over 50% would likely constitute 'most of'.

I never said anything about "most of".

let me know when you figure out which semantic argument I'm going to be ignoring

[-] NEZ27@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

I know how pedants work. You're not really making a point, just being obtuse for the sake of it.

[-] core@lemmy.blahaj.zone -2 points 4 days ago

I said it's not 75% because the other user claimed it is. it's not semantics.
